"I've been a little hesitant to post this. But I feel it's not only to bring awareness, but it is also incredible," Ricky Shoff wrote on Facebook. "We are so grateful for the bond that these twin brothers share."

The 47-second video that was captured on a nursery surveillance camera shows one child underneath the dresser, while the other child works to lift the dresser off him. He walked around, tried to lift the dresser, then pushed it off his brother.

The child was crying but appeared to be OK.

"We know Bowdy was not alone in moving the dresser off of Brock," Shoff wrote. "And feel blessed that he is okay. Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall."
