The animals who thanked their rescuers

There are many people that think humans are the only creatures that can feel deep emotions and that makes us superior to other animals. But the animals you'll see today, prove that you don't have to be a human to be grateful!

When Abigail the kangaroo was rescued and brought to the Alice Springs Reserve in Australia, she was only five months old. Because the staff at the reserve has taken such good care of her, Abigail has made it her mission to give hugs of gratitude. She seems to be starting a trend because other kangaroos, even the little ones, have begun giving hugs, too.

While Richard Wiese, an explorer, was visiting a UK swannery, he noticed a swan stuck in a fence. After he freed the bird, Richard brought it to the sanctuary for treatment. They met again several years later, but the swan didn't forget. The swan wrapped his neck around Richard's and gave him a nice "swan hug."

Erikas Plucas, a farmer from Lithuania, was outside one day, when he found a baby moose standing by his barn. Erikas realized that the moose was orphaned, so he decided he would raise her until she was old enough to join another moose. Once she was ready, Emma returned to the forest, but she still visits Plucas every day.

After this dog got hurt, his family took him to the vet to be treated. Since the dog was in so much pain, and they didn't want him to be afraid, the vet and his staff were very careful and gentle. When he was no longer in pain, the dog showed the vet how grateful he was.

Nora was abused by her owners to the point that she became afraid of all humans. She was brought to a shelter where she was eventually adopted by a family that was willing to work with her issues. It was surprising when they realized that the one who would help Nora was their infant son, Archie. Nora trusted him and now the two are inseparable.

A two-month-old cat named Rademenesa had respiratory inflammation and was brought in to the vet. The clinic staff noticed that while he was in recovery, he was very caring and gentle with other patients. They decided they wanted him to stay! So, they put him to work soothing the other animals.
