Touching video shows toddler rescuing twin

Two-year-old Brock Shoff owes his twin brother Bowdy big time. The boys were playing at their home in Orem, Utah, Friday morning when a dresser fell on Brock.

A home surveillance video shows Bowdy trying for almost two minutes to free his brother from under the furniture -- eventually succeeding. The boys' parents posted the video to social media to highlight the importance of securing furniture to make homes childproof, they said.

"We were hesitant to post this video initially," Ricky Shoff, the boys' father told CNN, "but a lot of parents have probably made the same mistake that we made, (they) don't have their furniture secure or bolted to a wall."

"Our house is very childproof, we are really cautious about all this stuff -- so it never really crossed out minds that something like this could happen," Shoff said.

The accident happened around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, the Shoffs told CNN. "We didn't hear anything, we normally hear them throwing their toys, they are super mischievous," Shoff said.

It wasn't until the boys' mother Kayli woke up a short time later and checked a surveillance camera on the boys' room that she saw the dresser was on the floor.

She went to check on the boys and "there wasn't a scratch" on either of them, her husband told CNN, "It's kind of a miracle, it's something really special, to see how Bowdy helped Brock."

Ricky works for a company that sells home monitoring systems and has surveillance cameras throughout his house, he said.
