The swan very touchingly hugged the man who saved him
Swans can hardly be called sociable. They are very loyal to their partner, stick to their territory and try to stay away from people.
But here is a story about a swan who surprised everyone by hugging a man in gratitude for saving him!
One day, while walking through the Abbotsbury Nature Reserve, TV presenter Richard Wise stumbled upon a swan that was stuck in a fence and could not get out on his own. When the man rescued the bird, as a sign of gratitude, he hugged him with his long, flexible neck and warmly clung to the man.
“This is an undescribable feeling — when a sweet animal unexpectedly trusted you so much!” — stated touched Richard.
«I hugged the swan to me so close to make him feel protected».
