In the whirlpool of our everyday lives, sometimes we get so caught up with things that it’s hard to notice how much kindness and affection is around us. But if you start to look closer, you’ll find it everywhere: like in a vet soothing his patient with a song, a stranger helping a stray animal, or the purest friendship between 2 entirely different species.
