The viral video was filmed at a home in Guangdong Province, China. In the video, the boy was playing riding a toy car, and a Golden Retriever was lying beside him.

Suddenly, the dog got up, bit the boy's clothes who was sitting, and helped him stand up. The dog hurriedly led the boy away to another place, preventing him from going near the tree.

The video ends with the boy looking up to see where the branch fell from.
