Heart-stopping footage captures the moment a clever two-year-old rescues his twin brother trapped under a chest of drawers.
In the video shot on a webcam in the toddlers’ bedroom, Bowdy is seen lifting the large piece of furniture off his crying brother, Brock.
The footage, later posted online by the boys’ parents, shows the two boys climbing on the chest of drawers before it topples forward.
While Bowdy appears unharmed he sees that his brother is trapped beneath.
It takes the little boy a few attempts to rescue his brother as he tries to figure out how to free him, but soon lifts the drawers just enough for Brock to wiggle free.
Watch the full video here:
Parents Ricky and Kayli Shoff from Utah in the US said they posted the video online to bring awareness to the dangers of unsecured furniture.
“I’ve been a little hesitant to post this,” Mr Schoff wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday.
“But I feel it’s not only to bring awareness, but it is also incredible. We are so grateful for the bond that these twin brothers share.
“We know Bowdy was not alone in moving the dresser off of Brock. And feel blessed that he is ok.
“Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall. Please share.”

Good on them for raising awareness of this, but where were they once the chest of drawers fell over? Surely they would have heard that and their child crying?
Something is not right, the drawers are empty, nobody hears it - not the drawer falling, not the child screaming. I smell something off...
and sorry, but the burning question is...why on earth do they have a camera set up in this room? is that normal? i don't know anyone with non-stop cameras outside their house let alone inside. is this so the carer can "watch them" on screen from a different location? weird.
Yeah, you're right about the drawers and the camera angle that doesn't cover one bed and how the devices are or are not plugged into the sockets.
I've watched it 3 times, it just doesn't feel right.
And at 0.35, is someone out of picture to the right saying something to the kids?
Another piece of the puzzle perhaps, US media now reporting the father works for a company that sells nanny cams... what a curious coincidence.
