A little boy brightened one Florida deputy's day by paying for his breakfast.

On "Fox and Friends," Heather Nauert told us that Broward County Deputy Donnie Jackson was brought to tears when a little boy declared that he would be picking up his Dunkin’ Donuts tab.

Jackson said that he smiled and declined the offer, but the boy’s parents said that their son insisted on buying breakfast because he appreciates the “thankless job” that officers do.

“It's a good thing I had on my Oakley's because I really teared up,” Jackson said on Facebook. "In closing, I really appreciated this kind act by this kid and the fine qualities being instilled in him by his parents!"

Jackson saved two young boys from a car wreck back in 2003.
