They're very often our first heroes and the ones we turn to for a helping hand. Dads show up day after day to help us learn, grow and succeed, sometimes going beyond the call of duty to do so. At InsideEdition.com, we love dads who aren't afraid of looking silly as they dance, sing and support their kids, so we've rounded up some of our favorite dads to make you smile. And if you have your dad in your life, go give him a bear hug and thank him for all he does.
