💖 #Returned Dreams - Dindim 🐧: the faithful penguin.

---

When we think of men and birds, fantastic stories like Icarus' or flying superheroes, or maybe the invention of the plane, may come to mind. To this recount will be added the unusual fusion of a Magellanic penguin and an old man. After investigating and reading what has been done, we know that the audience will notice two things: the best teams can arise from catastrophes and not always their members should be remotely similar.

Let's analyze something about the protagonists of this Wednesday: the penguins are known as much for their tenderness as for their awkwardness when walking; They can not fly, but they are excellent swimmers and good parents. On the other hand, the humans of the third age usually have reputation of sullen, plaintive and cantankerous. If we try to unite a chubby animal and an old pensioner, we are probably describing, roughly speaking, the next comedy film of an average director. Nothing remarkable. Nothing that deserves a statuette... The detail is that we do not refer to any penguin and any old man; We wrote about Dindim and Joao Pereira de Souza.

One day Dindim, as it would be called later, was very close to death. Agonizing between the rocks of a Brazilian beach and covered in oil, the hopes of survival of this small were eclipsed. Joao, despite his 71 years, was his light and savior, because he took him to his house to cleanse him and help him heal for a full week... Nice ending, is not it? Wait. There is a second part.

Pereira, responsibly, returned his guest to the water, where he thought he would happen the expected separation. However, didn't end like that… Dindim returned to the beach of his rescue, and returned to stay there almost every month for more than five years. He became Joao's adventurous companion. It only detaches from him when it must travel to reproduce. Finished the task, Dindim nothing again to the arms of his friend.

It's not an invention or an exaggeration. Many will point out that the reason for this behavior is mere animal instinct. We cannot decipher it and we do not want to evaluate the biological implications in this regard. What we do wish to highlight is how the power of love and service to living creatures enhances happiness and provides a more complex sense of existence on the planet… There is nothing more to investigate. This is worthy of applause, a smile and a memory. Humanity is not lost.
