Please click on the link to read the whole story it is sure to make you believe that there can be unconditional love between humans and animals. A man living in a village in Brazil found a South American Magellanic penguin in 2011 covered with oil and near death.
He cleaned up the penguin, fed him fish, and named him Dindim. This was the beginning of a love story that is still going on today. This penguin goes away to breeding grounds in Argentina and Chile and then swims up to 5,000 miles each year to spend eight months with his best friend who saved his life.

I read about these stories and see them on TV all the time. I am an enormous animal lover; and most animals can form a bond with humans. Some of them are so sweet they bring tears to my eyes. There have been more than one video on Facebook showing various animals running to their owners and "hugging" them. I hope there are animals in Heaven. Have a good day.

@jstory07 just makes me sad to think of one of them passing and the other not knowing and wondering where they are

What an incredible story of bonding! It's almost like this man became the penguin's adoptive father. Penguins have no fear of humans as they have no land predators possible an explanation for this wonderful bond.
