This joyful 4-year-old rottweiler named Ozzy is filmed playing tag with a 3-year-old girl.

Filmer Meghan McCarthy said: "Everyday 3-year-old Ally gives Ozzy a hug and a kiss goodbye before she goes to daycare, she waves goodbye to him as we pull out of the driveway.

"Both Ally and Ozzy love playing together and now that Ally is bigger Ozzy loves playing tag in the front yard. Ozzy is an incredibly gentle boy he knows he's a big boy so he is careful that he doesn't knock her down.

"He's so gentle and cuddly he's our best friend and part of our family."

This footage was filmed in Beaverbank, Canada, on October 7.
