A homeowner has shared footage from their doorbell camera from Halloween night showing two young boys performing a good deed that has left people "in tears".
Jodie Laithy took to social media to commend the children who called to her home trick-or-treating while she was out. The short clips show the young lads arriving at the door, but the bucket of sweets left out was empty, meaning there would be no treats for children arriving after them.
The pair then approached Jodie's door and rang the bell. After a few moments of waiting, the boys notice that the pumpkin bowl by the entrance was left empty. One of the youngsters can then be seen picking up the bowl and showing it to the camera, before saying, "somebody has taken them [the sweets]" before placing it back down on the chair it was on.

Immediately, he then opens his bag full of sweets from trick or treating starts generously placing his own collection of sweets into the unfilled bowl, before the other begins to do the same. When they’ve filled the bowl, they turn to the Ring doorbell camera and wave before saying "Happy Halloween."
Jodie took to social media to share the clip in the hopes that the young boys' parents would see the video, and know just "how amazing their children are." Speaking about the commendable act, Jodie said: "These kids' actions were so cute. I hope their parents see it and are proud of them.
"We left a bowl of sweets out for the kids while we were out, and because it was empty they put some of their own sweets in it. I didn’t expect that from two young lads, amazing they are."
She went on to add: "And their little wave and 'happy Halloween' was the cutest thing ever." Since Jodie posted the clip, it has been shared hundreds of times online with many people commenting below it to praise the pair.
One woman said that it, "made her cry." While another person wrote: "Oh I hope their mums see this and feel so proud! This is the best, what a gorgeous pair of boys."
And a third said: "Awww this made me cry."
