Vincent Butterfield is best friends with Zac Mossage who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, in June 2013.

When seven-year-old Vincent was asked “what is friendship?”, the little boy replied “it’s a beautiful thing.”

Vincent decided to shave his hair after learning that Zac would lose his as a result of chemotherapy, “I cut it off. I wanted to make Zac feel like he’s not the only one without any hair,” he told news outlet KSDK.

The video below shows the strong bond these boys share and it’s truly heartwarming.
