Toothless then ''immediately'' pops into frame, his body language screaming "Can we find out? Huh, can we can we can we?", and he and the kids run outside to find out.

* Part of Hiccup's TrainingMontage where he learns how to tame dragons includes discovering that dragons love neck scritches and have a cat-like fascination with moving light spots (essentially a proto-laser pointer). Toothless's expressions are what sell it.

* Toothless giving Hiccup the vomited up fish. He only does so when Hiccup states that he didn't have any more fish. Think about this from Toothless's perspective. He must've seen humans before, and the ones he'd have seen would be big, burly and strong. Hiccup is tiny and weak. ''He thought that Hiccup had only managed to catch one fish, and yet he'd given it to Toothless and not eaten it himself.''

Equally heartwarming is the fact that he never stopped trusting her in the first place.

** Hiccup's original gift [[spoiler: is heartwarming in it's own right. You can tell that he genuinely sad at the idea of Toothless flying without him and worried he'll leave him behind. But he stays up all night building the tail anyway and doesn't hesitate to give it to him because he thinks it will make Toothless happy. Hiccup can never properly fix himself, but that won't stop him helping his dragon.]]

* The relationship between Hiccup and Fishlegs. This comes to a head in ''How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse'' when Hiccup goes on a dangerous quest through enemy territory to get an antidote to save his friend's life. The ending makes it even more heartwarming -- Hiccup [[spoiler: actually got bitten by the Venomous Vorpent. He spends the whole book dying, and he]] doesn't even realize because he's too busy trying to save Fishlegs.

The readers aren't told anymore of what happens after the escape artists leave with her, but the little illustration of her smiling with her mother is enough to make any person smile/tear up a little.

* Camicazi and Fishlegs putting the unconscious Hiccup on the floating piece of wood Titanic style and paddling desperately for land is a wonderful demonstration of how goddamn great these kids are.

[[AC:Gift of the Night Fury]]
* Just about the entire "Gift of the Night Fury" short, but ''especially'' the titular gift. [[spoiler:After being given an interlocked tailfin so he can fly independently, Toothless uses it to retrieve Hiccup's helmet, returns, and then systematically destroys it, insisting on the old saddle and tailfin - and his bond - instead.]]
* The scene at the begining of "Gift of the Night Fury" when a small chlid (wearing a dragon costume no less) ''growls'' at Fishlegs' Dragon, the Dragon responds with a small growl of its own. What does the girl do? She giggles!
* Seeing the Vikings so worried about the dragons leaving is very heartwarming compared to how they used to treat them.

[[AC:The Book of Dragons]]
* In "The Book of Dragons," it's of course Hiccup who gives the lesson on Night Furies. When talking about Toothless, he comes to this touching line:
--> '''Hiccup''': I have so many questions about him, but there's one thing I do know.
