This is a really amazing story that ended up working out perfectly.

The Houston Police Department received a call that a toddler was walking on the side of train tracks with a dog. They were eventually found by the police, and the toddler was safe with his parents.

This is a bit about what the police officer had to say about the story: “Witnesses told me the dog was with the little boy when they found him,” Sgt. Ricardo Salas explained in a tweet.

“As I walked away with the boy, the dog followed. He [the dog] was his protector and his angel.”

The police officer said he thought the dog knew something was wrong.

Here's more about what he had to say: “It seems to us that the dog knew something was wrong; he knew that the child wasn’t supposed to be wandering off, and he ended up following him,” the sergeant told the Houston Chronicle.

“He was very protective and would not take his eyes off the child.”

Here was a Tweet posted about the story and the experience.

It turns out that the dog is his and clearly wasn't leaving his side during his adventure outside of the home. His parents are happy to have them both back safe after they snuck out while the parents were napping.

Overall, people are surprised by the dog's kind acts. Here's more of what the family had to say: “Alejandro [the dog] has always been a very overprotective dog since we got him; we got him when he was a baby,” Samantha Muñoz, his sister, told Click2Houston.

“I was not surprised when they said he was walking with him the entire time.”

Ohh my God y’all, I have to tell y’all this incredible story. This morning we got several 911 calls of a 3 year old boy walking on the railroad tracks with a dog alone. When I arrived, I carried the little boy and tried asking him questions. I could tell he had Down syndrome. 1/5 pic.twitter.com/JFuv9YLrrg
