#494 Animal Friends

Humans and animals have interacted since forever, and anyone who has a pet will tell you that they make our lives better. But they also have lives, communities and feelings of their own that we’ll never fully understand. This week we bring you some cute, quirky and wholesome stories of humans getting close to animals.
