A little boy was “caught” sneaking into his neighbor’s garage to hug their dog in Louisiana, and the owners of the dog attempted to figure out who the boy is.

Josh Breaux of Pierre Part, Louisiana, was spotted on security camera footage reviewed by homeowner, Hollie Mallet, who posted the video on her Facebook page.

She wrote: “Attn Neighbors! Anyone know who this sweet little boy is? Every now and then when he rides his bike he will quickly come and love on my dog or play fetch real quick, but always leaves quick like he doesn’t know if he should be here! I'd like to tell him he’s welcome to stay and play, she loves the attention!”

Last week, she had the opportunity to meet the boy after the boy’s mother came forward.

“We had an underground fence set up so my dog can roam freely so she just stays out, but doesn’t go in the road,” Mallet explained to ABC News. “We had noticed once or twice the little boy would stop at the end of the driveway and he would bring a ball and throw it to her.

“One day, we were going through the footage and I told my husband, ‘You’ve got to see this,’ and he [Josh] came in and gave him a quick hug, and we wanted to find out who he was,” she added. “We live in small town so everyone pretty much knows everyone, but we don’t know all the neighborhood kids because we don’t have small children anymore.”

Josh’s mother, Ginger, saw the video and confirmed it.

“Josh talks about your dog all the time!” Breaux said in the post. “Every time we pass he looks to see if she was sitting where he could see her. Just didn’t know he was doing things like this. Last night when I first saw it, I was torn as a momma being happy and upset because he knows he shouldn’t be on someone’s property, but I wake up this morning more happy that he just absolutely adores dogs so much.”
