Heartwarming video from the US of a cuddly toy delivering a special message to a little girl from her deployed military father.

The footage, captured on September 23, shows Sophie sitting in a car with the cuddly toy on her lap.

Following her mum's suggestion she presses a button and hears her dad's message.

''Hey baby, I love you!'' a voice says.

''Technology has truly changed the way military families connect with each other while their loved ones are away at trainings, deployments, and schools,'' Sophie's mother later wrote online.

''Sophie has been able to hear her daddy’s loving voice through a Cloud Pet stuffed animal while he’s away."

She adds: "This little stuffed puppy has provided her with many laughs, 'good nights', 'good mornings' and 'I love you’s' from her very best friend even when he’s half a world away."
