The baby lives with a cat and has only recently become interested in the animal. His parents say he tries to pet the cat, but isn't super excited about the feline.
With Sherman the puppy, however, everything was different. Easton couldn't contain his joy! The giggles bubbled out of the little boy.
Luckily, his mom caught the adorable moment on camera.

She added that, while her son usually smiles at their cat, his reaction to the dog was "on a different level."
"He just loves dogs and something about them is very funny to him," she said.
