Who needs diamonds? Dogs are a girl’s best friend!

An endearing YouTube clip featuring a deaf pit bull named Pajama Sam and his infant admirer Ellie has elicited a resounding “aww” online. In the video, the cute kid uses “sign language” to talk to her pup.

We see the little girl teasing the dog with a cracker and continuously poking him until she plops down on the living room floor. The rescue pooch from Austin, Texas, doesn’t seem to mind being picked on, as he stays contentedly sprawled out on the couch.
