Little Girl Embraces Her Inner Snow White With Every Animal She Encounters
Most children are born with a natural love for animals, and it’s a feeling that is often reciprocated. Whether it’s a dog, cat, chicken, or pony, these pint-sized enthusiasts adore all creatures equally and with all their hearts. But some seem to have a way about them that is particularly special.
This little girl is one of them, and the heartwarming relationships she has forged with her many animals are genuinely inspiring. Watch this pint-size Dr. Dolittle caring for creatures big and small in this video from October 12:
Oh, sweet Blossom (@hebraleyfamily), I understand! I would also prefer to spend my days on a farm with animals. It appears every creature she encounters senses her gentle spirit. She’s in her comfort zone, whether nuzzling a big horse, hugging a pony, or bottle-feeding cows. Unsurprisingly, she has just as much affection to give her dogs, guinea pigs, and goats. Even her chickens are an interactive part of her world as she carries them on horseback or relaxes with them while gliding in her swing or napping in a tree. It’s hard to believe these birds don’t mind, and in fact, they seem to enjoy it! This seems to confirm that birds of a feather do indeed flock together. While her sweet temperament may be part of her nature, her rapport is also a testament to her parents, who have shown her what kindness looks like.
Benefits of Animals for Young Children
Having pets can provide children with benefits that affect their physical, emotional, and social development. The responsibility of caring for pets, especially dogs, encourages children to be more physically active and promotes a healthier lifestyle. The American Academy of Child & Adolescence Psychiatry reports that caring for a pet can help teach responsible behavior and respect for other living beings, which can translate into children's interactions with people. Pets also provide comfort and constant companionship, which can help kids feel less alone.
People were enchanted watching this little girl’s love of animals. Viewer @trekkernicky responded, “You should be so proud you are raising a kind, gentle, loving little angel. Thank You.” It’s a gift to the world. Another shared, “Your daughter is already a role model. Her kind heart and natural comprehension of Mother Nature give her emotional intelligence that makes her very special. Thank you for raising such a wonderful child.” It’s lovely to witness.
