The Glendale Fire Department's Facebook page shared a precious photo of a toddler running up to greet her firefighter daddy following a resolved incident.

The adorable snapshot melted the hearts of social media users.

Captain Dave Colson works on the hazardous materials team for the department located in the city of Glendale–which is 10 miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona.

A spokesperson for the department told McClatchy News that Colson and his crew were responding to a call of a gas leak at a location that happened to be down the street from where Colson lived.

When the situation was taken care of, Colson's wife allowed their eager daughter to greet him.

The spokesperson said of the firefighter's wife:

"She quickly snapped this photo of them just before he swept her into his arms for a hug."

The photo showed the little girl in her diaper making a beeline toward her daddy in the middle of the closed residential street.

Dad appeared to have a huge smile on his face as he walked to greet the toddler.


Facebook commenters agreed this was the kind of content the internet could use right now.

“I need this to be recreated for his retirement or her graduation one day! I love this so much!”

We couldn't agree more.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
