Hero toddler saves trapped twin brother in unbelievable YouTube video

Two very lucky twin brothers escaped unharmed after their unsupervised playtime took a very dangerous turn.

While two-year-olds Brock and Bowdy Shoff were climbing on a twin dresser in their Utah home, a large dresser toppled over on them, trapping little Brock beneath it.

In a nearly two-minute-long home surveillance video, Bowdy can be seen attempting to free his brother, and thankfully, after mustering up all his strength he was miraculously able to push the dresser off of his brother.

After the terrifying event, the boys' parents decided to share the video on Facebook to raise awareness of the dangers of leaving young children by themselves, reminding parents, "Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall."
