Awesome photo of "Umbrella Dad" goes viral

Father's soaked shirt is giving folks the feels.



This awesome photo of a dad shielding his kid from the rain is my favorite thing on the internet today. They're calling him "Umbrella Dad." The photo, taken in Flushing (other commenters have been claiming it's Vancouver), was posted online three days ago and went viral on Reddit after folks got the feels from seeing a combination of the dad's totally soaked shirt, the kid's cool lion backpack, a juicebox in his hand and a spring in his step. Thanks, Dad.
