How animals could be grateful to those who have helped them, nothing is truely forgotten, either good or bad.

Retired bricklayer and part-time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, found this penguin back in 2011 when he washed up on a beach, starving and covered in oil.

Joao, who named the penguin Dindim after discovering him in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, decided to take the creature home and nurse it back to health.

Once Dindim was well again, Joao released him back into the wild and did not expect to see the penguin ever again.



Suprisingly the animal swam 5000 miles to find the bricklayer and he stayed with him 8months. Speaking during an interview the bricklayer said :

“I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me.

“No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks them if they do. He lays on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him sardines and to pick him up.”

”It took 11 months for Dindim to be nursed back to full health and for the past four years he has been a loyal visitor to his rescuer”.

“He arrives in June and leaves to go home in February, and every year he becomes more affectionate as he appears even happier to see me.”

The animal has since then been visiting the bricklayer frequently..oh how sweet
