Writing on Facebook, the father of the twins said he wanted to “bring awareness” by posting the video of the incident.

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