The bond between humans and animals is truly unique, even if those animals don’t happen to be domesticated. A Reddit user shared a story about a wild animal that befriended a human family in Lakhapada village in India… and it’s a tale that could melt your heart. A friendly sloth bear cub found the family’s house after following a herd of goats.
Once he got there, the bear didn’t want to leave.

Because the sloth bear is an endangered species, national forest department officials had to step in. Not only that, but most adult sloth bears are aggressive and deadly, unlike the friendly little Buddu. So, they removed him from the Kisan family home and placed him back in his (disappearing) habitat.
I really wish he could’ve stayed. It seems like he definitely wanted to be with this family.
Hopefully, Buddu will never forget his time with the human family, because they will never forget him. Share this touching story with others by clicking below.
