Moving stories of faithful animals
The penguin Dindin and his eternal gratitude
One day like any other, 71-year-old Brazilian João Pereira de Souza had gone out for a leisurely stroll along a beach. That morning, to his surprise, he would find a small Magellanic penguin dying among the rocks.
João knew that if he didn’t act quickly, the bird would lose its life waiting for professional help. So, he didn’t hesitate to take the animal and take it home with him to look after it.
For a week, João cleaned, fed and cared for the little penguin with total dedication. He even gave it a funny name – the penguin Dindin or Dindim. “Dindin” or “dindim” is a Brazilian idiom meaning “money”.
Fortunately, the penguin recovered and João brought him back to sea to return him to his family. But to the old gentleman’s surprise, Dindin returned to the same beach a few months after his departure. And what could have been just a coincidence has become a habit.
João’s rescue of Dindin happened five years ago. Since then, Dindin returns to the same beach once a year and lives for eight months with his best human friend. A lesson in gratitude and affection, without borders or species.
The dog Capitan, among the most moving stories of fidelity
We all know the story of Hachiko, the dog who returned every day to wait for his master at Tokyo station, even after his death. But few know Capitan, another dog who proves dog loyalty doesn’t know the boundaries between life and death.
For many years, Capitan has lived a happy life with his owner Miguel and his family in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. But unfortunately one day Miguel lost his life, which had a strong impact on his wife and son but also on the dog Capitan.
After Miguel’s death, Capitan was never the same and was unable to adapt to living at home without his master. One day, to the desperation of Miguel’s woman and son, Capitan ran away from home and they lost track of him.
The biggest surprise was finding Capitan next to Miguel’s grave during a visit to the cemetery. Though they tried to call him back in various ways, Captain stood motionless beside his deceased master’s grave. According to Miguel’s wife, the dog was lying on the stone and crying desperately.
After several attempts, Capitan agreed to return home with Miguel’s son and wife. However, he returns to the cemetery daily to visit his owner and lies on or near his grave for hours. Unfortunately, not all heartwarming stories have a happy ending.
Magpie Penguin and its family devotion
During one of their out-of-town walks, the Blooms, an Australian family, come across an injured magpie. The bird was still very small and had fallen out of its nest, so it was unable to recover on its own.
Noticing the animal’s weakness, the Bloom family decided to take it home with them to take care of it. Thanks to the attention of the family, the little magpie was able to recover successfully after a few weeks.
The Blooms decided it was time to free the bird so that it could live in freedom. To their surprise, the magpie showed no interest in leaving and flying towards the horizon, but chose to return home.
Magpie Penguin, as its human family named it, currently lives happily in Australia. His favorite activities include: taking the kids to school, playing football and accompanying the family. Another heartwarming story of faithful animals.
As we have seen through these stories, animals always surprise us with their dedication and love that they are able to show us. There are no barriers between species or races, because an indissoluble bond can be established with any animal.
