3-year-old meets her hero garbage man

Most 3-year-olds turn to superheroes, princesses and even their parents for inspiration, but a little girl in the US has a slightly more unconventional personal hero – the local garbage man.

Brooklyn Andracke’s fascination began when the garbage man, Delvar Dopson began beeping his horn and waving every time he passed her house, where she waited at the window. Brooklyn and her mother started a new daily ritual, going outside to watch her hero drive past.

However, on April 7 (which also happened to be her birthday), Brooklyn decided to show her appreciation by offering Dopson one of her cupcakes. “She was literally starstruck,” Brooklyn’s mother told the Huffington Post, and it seems her hero was too, left speechless by his young admirer’s act of kindness.

A week later, Dopson gave Brooklyn a belated birthday present: a Frozen toy set. Watch the video above, you’ll just love the duo’s unlikely friendship.
