Rich Houck asked the store employees at the mall if he could surprise his son with special needs by pretending to be a mannequin. Rich says, “I just thought, like, this is what I’m doing. I’m making him happy, and that’s it.”

The video of his son Jacob, which is going viral, shows him searching for his father in the mall before spotting him at the store window.

Jacob then joins his father, and they stand together behind the glass, posing as mannequins. This heartwarming video has really made our day, and we admire the father for what he has done for his son.
