She says he lives for "garbage truck Thursdays", and loves one collector so much she and Dylan go to a friend's block for pickup day just to see him.

On Tuesday, Christmas came a little early for Dylan when collector, and Dylan's friend, William Hoff, showed up with a sack of presents including a truck and his very own hat.

Dylan was so happy he even did a little dance.

His mom tells us there are heroes in the world, dreams do come true and kindness does prevail.
