Russian Brown Bear Who Was Abandoned As A Cub And Raised By Humans Has Now Started A Modeling Career (35 Pics)

December 26, 2025

Stepan is a 28-year-old brown bear that is quite well-known in Russia for a good amount of reasons. As a cub, the infamous Russian bear was abandoned by his mother, but luckily enough, he was adopted by a pair of very loving humans, Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko.

Given that the bear grew up around people for the majority of his life (adopted as a 3-month-old cub), Stepan pretty much became a domesticated pet bear. To find out more about how the Russian brown bear became who he is today, you can check out our previous post, which focuses on the story of how the lovely couple nurtured and adopted him.

Nowadays, Stepan is not only a friendly and human-loving bear, but also a model for the famous Russian photographer Mila Zhdanova, who came to know about Stepan through his owners.

Mesmerized with the Zhdanova’s work, Bored Panda reached out to this incredibly talented photographer to learn more, and you can find an interview with her below!

Mila often features Stepan in her fairy tale-inspired scenes that will most likely remind you of a Disney movie. Various models have flown from all across the world and waited even as long as 5 years to have a chance to work with Stepan. And to create an even further illusion of a fairy tale, most of the models are posing in traditional Russian dresses alongside Stepan for truly mesmerizing shots.

#3

Fascinated with Mila’s work, we obviously wanted to know how she came up with this whole idea and what was the reason behind it.

“I was creatively and mentally exhausted after a very big project. To me, it seemed like I was on the verge of depression and I even considered stopping taking photographs altogether. However, there was one small desire. I wanted to do a photoshoot with Stepan the bear. For several years, I watched him. I looked at how his owners were treating him (for me, the attitude towards an animal always comes first), and I thought that this would be a great end to my photography career.

After the long-awaited meeting and a photo session with Stepan, I realized that I wanted to continue photographing, I felt like there was no trace of depression I carried, so this experience only served as the next step in my career.”

The photographer also had several other reasons that continuously gave her inspiration for this project.

“Let’s be honest, most foreigners have very few associations with Russia, so to most people, a photoshoot with a bear sounds nearly impossible or even bizarre. However, the girls in the national Russian costumes look amazing, and next to such a large beast, it really does seem like a fairy tale. I should probably also thank my husband, as he helps me a lot—all the costumes ‘A la Russe’ are the work of his hands. Sometimes I truly do not understand how he makes such beauty, but that’s maybe just because he himself reminds me of a bear.”

#6

#7

We also took some time to find out about Zhdanova’s favorite photo from this whole project.

“My favorite photo from this project was taken during our first meeting with the lovely bear. In it, you can see Stepan holding a lollipop between his paws!”

Zhdanova believes that her photos represent a few different things, which are not only related to her.

“Using my photos, I try to tell different stories—about myself, about the world, about my country. Many people think that people don’t smile in Russia, and this is a completely false statement! Even the giant bear smiles in my photos, even though most people would assume it’s Photoshop, which, of course, is not the case.”

#10

#11

When it comes to inspiration and motivation for her projects, Mila has one particular person in mind.

“There are many photographers and they are all good in their own way, as each has their own unique style. However, I would like to mention my friend. Her name was Irina Pirogova. She was a very good person and to be honest, she started photographing animals way before me, and that even included Stepan. I admired her style a lot. Unfortunately, Irina Pirogova died of cancer, but today I often find myself remembering her, and I even have her picture on my table.

I would like to wish everyone who reads this article health. Please take care of yourself and be kind, especially during these difficult moments that have fallen upon our world this year.”

#12

#13

The photographer’s working process with Stepan is not only pretty interesting, but also very amusing at times.

“I manage the filming process, but one also needs to understand the specifics of shooting with Stepan. When we are at the shooting area, we have everyone adjust to the bear’s mood. The model does not pose, but rather contacts the animal naturally. Stepan is never forced to do something, but is nicely asked. Sometimes he doesn’t want to, so we don’t insist. However, on the set, there are always jokes about arguments with the bear.”

15 Of The Best Animal Images Of The Previous Decade From The British Wildlife Photography Awards

December 26, 2025

As the British Wildlife Photography Awards is celebrating its 10th anniversary, a retrospective traveling outdoor exhibition has been set up. For the first time, the exhibition will feature all the overall winners, selected category winners, and highly commended images.

For the past decade, the British Wildlife Photography Awards has showcased the most stunning work from talented photographers across the United Kingdom. “This is a unique legacy captured by thousands of dedicated and talented photographers during the last decade, which has reached millions each year through exceptional media coverage,” the official web page for the awards reads.

The exhibition opened on September 19 and is currently running until March 2021 as an inventive outdoor show and experience in the Astley Hall park in Chorley, Lancashire. “Visitors can experience these images in a way which has not been done before and enjoy the original perspective of finding an underwater world in the woods and get up close and personal with all creatures great and small within the walled garden,” the British Wildlife Photography Awards page reads.

In addition to the outdoor exhibition, an indoor one will also be held from November 10, 2020, at Nature in Art near Gloucester. The future venues for the upcoming exhibitions will be announced once they’re confirmed.

Due to the global pandemic, unfortunately, the competition won’t be held for the year 2020. “We have now chosen to defer the next competition to 2021, to ensure the best possible competition is run when it is safe and practical to do so. Meanwhile, we are undertaking the retrospective show to mark ten years of the BWPA—and to look forward to many more,” the organizers of the competition explain.

Bored Panda had the opportunity to interview Jimmy once again! As They Can Talk is a long-running series, we were curious to learn how the artist keeps the creative spark alive. “I’ve found that stepping away and working on other projects has really helped,” he shared.

“I’m working on so many projects that are completely different from They Can Talk that my brain is just occupied at all times. I even started a different comic series (jimmytried) that has been a creative outlet for ideas that don’t fit anywhere else. I’m terrible at taking breaks.”

#2

#3

Jimmy shared that he makes a deliberate effort to keep They Can Talk timeless. “I want to make something that will age well and be just as relevant today as it might be in 20 years. I don’t know if that will be the case, but that’s the goal. It also tends to be the type of humor that I gravitate towards.”

#4

#5

When asked about the most rewarding moments or milestones in his comic creation journey, the artist shared that being welcomed into a community of cartoonists he has admired for years has been an incredible experience. “As far as most rewarding, just recently, I did a comic expo in Boston, and I met so many people that have followed my comics for a while, some that even traveled hours to see me. My jaw was on the floor. My readers are really thoughtful and supportive online, but it was a different experience entirely to meet so many of them in person.”

#6

#7

So, what’s next for They Can Talk? Jimmy revealed that he’s recently ventured into TikTok! “I’ve resisted joining it for a while, but there are so many potential readers that might never see my comic otherwise. We’ll see if it changes my approach to telling jokes- TBD.”

40 Pics Of Malfunctioning Cats That Made People Wonder “What’s Wrong With My Cat?” (New Pics)

December 23, 2025

Let’s take a journey back in time, pandas. Picture ancient Egypt, where cats were worshiped as holy guardians and treated like royalty. Fast forward to today, and what do you see? Cats are still stealing the spotlight with their irresistible charm and peculiar looks.

Speaking of cats’ daily routines, did you know that an average cat sleeps around 12-16 hours every day? This extended nap time not only allows the animals to recharge their batteries but also gives their owners plenty of opportunities to capture them in various funny poses.

However, when they’re awake, cats have a knack for turning boring moments into funny adventures, and it’s really amusing to see their mischievous character in action. Their spontaneous antics can be found on the subreddit “What’s Wrong With Your Cat?“, which has 728,000 members, so we decided to delve into its archives and find some really entertaining pictures of our feline friends. Don’t forget to share which one is your favorite in the comments!

#1 An Exhausted Mother And Her Weird Children

Such odd behaviors displayed by cats stem from millions of years of biological evolution. Just like their ancestors, who were solitary hunters, modern cats rely on their natural instincts in order to survive.

But is it just genetics that drive a tabby’s behavior? Or is it the things they pick up along the way? Well, it’s actually a bit of both. Their behavior is a combination of genetic traits and life experiences, creating a purrfectly unique personality.

#2 Yes, Tell Me What’s The Matter

#3 Winston Is Popping In To Say Hi

For instance, it’s their hunting heritage that often leads to amusing situations in a domestic setting. When a cat pounces on a moving shadow, it could be because it mistakes it for prey. This often leads to our favorite pet comically chasing its own tail in circles.

In fact, these natural instincts have also improved their interactions with humans. Modern cats have adapted to use vocalization to attract human attention. Back in the day, meowing was like the secret language of moms and kittens. But now, cats purr to communicate more effectively with humans.

#5 Seriously Dan? You Can’t Turn On The TV?

#6 Curly Has Quite An Interesting Sleeping Position On My Desk

Such genetic traits largely influence a feline’s behavior. But their quirky behavior can also be credited to their life experiences. Let’s dive into how their environment affects them.

Kittens have a critical socialization period from two to seven weeks old. During this time, they’re like little sponges, soaking up everything around them. It is during this time they learn what’s normal and safe. Anything they don’t experience as a baby might become a bit scary later on.

Research shows that kittens who receive 30–40 minutes of petting and play time daily tend to develop a stronger bond with humans. Additionally, if kittens interact with more humans growing up, then they are more comfortable around people as adult cats.

Exposure to different environments also impacts a cat’s demeanor, leading to some rather peculiar antics. A cat raised in a bustling city apartment may develop a heightened sense of curiosity. For such city cats, the living room is their playground as they investigate every hiding spot and secret passage with ninja-like agility

Meanwhile, their countryside cousin may exhibit a more relaxed demeanor. They enjoy spending leisurely afternoons relaxing in the sun or lazily batting at passing insects. These contrasting environments not only shape a cat’s physical abilities but also influence their social interactions and overall temperament.

#13 My Friend’s Cat Might Have A Problem

#14 Roomba No Worky

#15 First Time He Saw Himself In The Mirror

It’s this blend of nature and nurture that makes understanding cat behavior fascinating. As cat parents, it’s crucial for us to grasp these quirks in order to make a meaningful connection with our beloved pets. After all, the unique bond between a cat and its human companion often defies conventional expectations.

#16 Shoulder Cat

#17 Sentient Dryer Lint

#18 My Special Girl

Unlike dogs, which are known for their ample display of affection and loyalty, cats tend to express their attachment in more subtle yet profound ways. Although known for their aloof nature, cats are secret softies when it comes to their human companions.

#19 He Thinks He’s Invisible

#20 Stepped Out Of The Shower To This

#21 I’m Worried About Him Sometimes

Through cuddle sessions and playful antics, they form deep emotional connections with their owners. So, don’t be fooled by their independent nature — these whiskered wonders are just as attached to us as we are to them.

#22 One Of His Favorite Ways To Sleep

#23 My Friend Had Her Parents Visit And Her Cat Stayed Like This The Entire Time

#24 She Has Multiple Beds But Always Chooses The Box

This bond isn’t just about having a furry sidekick, it’s a unique partnership built on trust and mutual respect. Cats, with their keen intuition, can sniff out our emotions faster than a dog can find a treat. They’re our silent confidants, offering purr-fect comfort and cuddles whenever we’re feeling a bit ruff. They always provide comfort during our times of need.

#25 My Scrungly Son Cleaned Himself And Then Sat Like This For Another 30 Minutes

#26 Looks Like A Demon From A Renaissance Painting

#27 His Happy Place Is In My Robe

Sometimes, misinterpreting a cat’s behavior could strain the bond between owner and feline friend. Navigating through their quirky moments with patience and empathy makes things easy and manageable. One key approach is to establish a consistent routine for your pet, providing them with structure and predictability in their daily lives.

Additionally, providing physical stimulation through interactive toys and playtime can help channel their energy in more constructive ways. Now, whether they are dodging imaginary obstacles like a feline superhero or giving you peculiar looks, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the show until they tire out.

And finally, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist if you’re struggling to address specific behavioral issues. For more similar pictures, fire up our older publication on weird cat behavior.

47 Of The Funniest And Most Relatable Cat Memes Shared By This IG Page

December 22, 2025

I hope the panda in our website’s name and logo doesn’t make you think it’s the only animal we approve of. I mean, we even feature the peculiar creatures scientists find 16,000 feet deep in the ocean.

This time, we want to go back to the classics and revisit one of our earliest domesticated species. Cats!

The appropriately titled Instagram account ‘Cat Memes For All’ shares humorous pictures that perfectly explain the nature of our beloved companions, and you don’t have to own one to appreciate them.

Continue scrolling to check out the images, and don’t miss the chat we had with British journalist, author, and expert on feline behavior, Celia Haddon.

Cats are often seen as sneaky, mysterious pets, but if you know what to look for, you can understand their needs and emotions much better. Even in these memes!

“Body language is as important or more than vocal language for cats,” Celia Haddon, author of ‘Being Your Cat: What’s Really Going on in Your Feline’s Mind,’ told Bored Panda.

“You really want to look at the whole body of your cat to read its signals — ears, tail, fur, back and face. Don’t just read one body part of the cat: read every part and put it all together.”

#3

#4

#5

According to Haddon, who you can follow on Twitter, ears are one of the easier ways of interpreting these animals. For example, “If the ears are pointing forward, the cat is interested and alert. If the ears are lowered on either side of the head, then your cat is frightened.”

“If the ears are swiveled backwards, it is a sign of frustration or anger. If the ears are lowered AND swiveled back, then your cat is both frightened and frustrated/angry.”

#6

#7

#8

#9

“Roughly speaking, if your cat’s fur is standing up on its back, its back is arched and its tail is like a bottlebrush, that is a cat which is menacing,” the feline behaviorist added. “It is making itself look large.”

“If the fur is normal and the cat is crouching with a lowered body, this is usually the opposite – your cat is scared and making itself look small.”

Haddon said that protracted (not retracted) claws are also a bad sign because they are ready to scratch.

#10

#11

#12

#13

“The face is more difficult for a human to read, but if teeth are bared that is usually a bad sign in any animal,” the cat expert said.

“Hissing and growling are defensive threats and a loud yowl is more of an attacking threat. Purring comes in two forms. The contented purr or the asking-for-something purr, which has a little cry in it. The contented purr, however, can also mean ‘please look after me’ in some cats — they purr when they are at the vet’s and not well.”

And while rolling on the ground is generally a sign of affection, be careful because it doesn’t mean the cat wants a belly rub. Some might, others don’t, Haddon said.

#14

#15

#16

#17

“A tail usually hangs loosely if a cat is happily occupied,” Haddon explained. “When it goes upright, it is a distance sign that the cat is friendly.”

On the other hand, when the tail is lashing, it means the cat is preparing to attack, while a tail that is fluffed up and goes up at the base and then down is the tail of a cat that is angry.

#18

#19

#20

#21

Sometimes when we see two cats playing, it can be confusing to determine if they’re having a good time or not, because, as Celia Haddon pointed out, they play silently without yowling, their claws are retracted, they come back for more after a pause, and they often take turns in chasing or pouncing on each other.

We reached out to the owner of Kensington, the canine featured in the humorous attorney ads, to find out more about the dog and the series they created together. We learned that: “Kensington is a 7-year-old female golden retriever living in Texas.”

#3

As mentioned previously, in addition to starring in the ‘Campbell Wagtail & Fetcher’ campaign, Kensington has captured the hearts of thousands on her social media accounts. Her Instagram following exceeds 110k and continues to grow. According to the dog’s owner: “We’ve been sharing Kensington for years through all her social media channels @kensingtoncampbell. Our entire goal has always been to spread love, kindness, and a bit of humor and become the highlight of someone’s day, while also creating awareness for dog rescue and pet adoption.”

#5

We were also wondering where the inspiration for this funny project came from. Asked if it’s drawn from real-life cases or experiences or solely on imagination, the owner answered: “Most of our inspiration comes from all the foster dogs we have had in the past four years. Everything we come up with is all in good fun. We come from very creative families.”

#6

#7

Lastly, we were curious which one of the ads created so far has been Kensington’s caretaker’s favorite. He shared with us: “Probably our favorite post has been, ‘Has dad ever f****d and blamed it on you?’ I think everyone can relate to body humor.” We also got a little teaser about what we should expect to see from Kensington Campbell in the near future: “We have tons of ideas still to come and Kensington’s ‘pawyering’ videos are coming soon. Stay tuned.”

Whether you’re a cat person, dog-lover, or both, there’s an astonishing amount of overlap between all of these categories, around the world. At least, when it comes to choosing names for your beloved furever friends. Luna, for example, is an almost-universally beloved moniker.

As ‘Rover’ notes in its most recent top pet names report, in the United States, the most popular female cat name in 2025 is Luna, which is also the most popular female dog name. The top male cat name is Milo, while the top male dog name is Charlie.

This exact same trend holds true in Canada.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, in the United Kingdom, the top female cat and dog name is Luna, while the most popular male cat and dog name is Milo.

In Spain, female cats and dogs are also most often named Luna. Male cats are most commonly named Simba, while male dogs are often named Coco.

France stands out from the crowd, as the top female cat and dog name is Nala, rather than Luna. In the meantime, male cats are most often named Simba, while male dogs usually get named Rio.

During a previous in-depth interview, Bored Panda reached out to cat specialist and clinical animal behaviorist, Sally Chamberlain. She was kind enough to share her wisdom and answer our questions about feline behavior.

She shared that cats tend to be alluring to so many people because of their large eyes, cute faces, quirky behavior, and the sleek, nimble way in which they move.

“Much of their behavior comes from their ancestry as solitary hunters of small prey. Because of this, their behavior can often seem mysterious and funny to humans because we are a very different species, even when they are exhibiting normal feline behavior such as wiggling their bottom when they are about to pounce on a toy or climbing up the curtains, it can be amusing,” Chamberlain explained to Bored Panda earlier.

#10

#11

#12

According to the animal behaviorist, cats have strong hunting instincts. “Much of their behavior relates to being a hunter and survivor. Squeezing into a tight box could be a good hiding spot for a cat trying to avoid predators or it might make an excellent place to hide when they are hunting, ready to pounce on nearby rodents. Of course, in the case of a domestic cat, hiding in a box may simply be fun, but the above scenarios are deeply ingrained in such behavior because they form part of their natural instincts.”

#13

#14

“Jumping up onto high cupboards gives a cat a good vantage point from which to survey their ‘cat-dom’. Their wild ancestors would have got up high to look around for predators and competitors for their territory, and to also lie in wait for prey, such as small birds. Much of the hunting sequence for a cat is spent waiting,” the cat specialist told us earlier.

“They can wait for many hours for the right opportunity to pounce on a mouse or catch a bird, so staring out of the window can satisfy this need for a cat, especially if they can see birds outside. Similar behavior is common in all domestic cats, which is why play is important for their daily routine, along with enriching their environment with high and low resting places, such as cat trees and cardboard boxes.”

According to the expert, cats will “take advantage of anything they can” in order to ensure that they feel safe and their survival needs are met. This includes behaving around us “in persuasive ways” so that, for example, they can get food or a warm seat.

“The way a cat behaves has to be taken into context. A cat that is always seeking out high places to rest may simply like to sleep up high, but it could also be the case they are stressed about something at a lower level, such as another pet in the household or small children. Cats are instinctive but they are also intelligent, so their behavior is unlikely to be random.”

Chamberlain explained to Bored Panda that most feline behavior is purposeful so that they get necessities like food, shelter, and water.

“Cats are usually at their funniest when they are playing and have ‘mad half-hours’ when they run around like crazy. This is the best time to offer a cat some play, ideally with a wand toy so that human hands and feet don’t become a target,” the expert told us earlier.

According to the cat specialist, one myth about felines is that they are ‘evil’ or bring ‘bad luck.’ This is both outdated and untrue.

“As I’m sure any cat lover will tell you, cats can be very loving and affectionate. When they’re not, we need to try to understand what they are telling us and provide them with appropriate care, resources and enrichment to ensure that their needs are being met,” she said.

“It is true that some cats are more aloof than others but they all need some sort of company and the opportunity to form social bonds if they so choose. Cats can suffer from separation anxiety when they are not with their humans in the same way that dogs do. The main difference between the social bond between dogs and cats and their humans is that dogs have been purposefully bred to look to humans for guidance and attention, especially in breeds designed to work with humans, such as gun dogs, guard dogs and sight hounds, whereas cats are only partially domesticated, having almost domesticated themselves in the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East thousands of years ago,” she said.

“Cats chose to live near and around humans because of the rodent supply in human grain stores that became their food source, with some kittens being taken into human homes and tamed. Humans may have succeeded in creating pedigree breeds of cat, but this still doesn’t mean that the domestic cat is truly domesticated. It is in their nature to have an independent streak but still retain the ability to form social bonds,” the expert said.

“Many cats do seem to feel affection and love towards their humans but may have difficulty expressing it. One cat’s way of showing love may be very different from another. One cat might cuddle up in their human’s lap, whereas another might show affection by sitting on the sofa a couple of feet away. Some cats like physical affection, some don’t.”

Ever since ‘Cats Being Weird Little Guys’ was launched a few years ago, it has seen massive success. Created back in March 2022, it has grown by leaps and bounds.

On Instagram alone, the social media project boasts 394k followers. Meanwhile, on X (formerly Twitter), it has a mind-meltingly huge 1.9 million followers. What’s more, the curator of the project runs a website full of merch.

Which of these cat pics and memes did you enjoy the most and why, dear Pandas? What’s your personal theory about why the internet loves cats and cat-themed content so much? What do you personally think are the biggest misconceptions that people have about cats?

Professor Asks Her Students To Show Their Dogs Doing Classwork, 30 People Send Her Their Photos

December 21, 2025

Who doesn’t love to look at funny and cute photos of adorable pets doing stuff? Whether they are eating, playing, or napping, cute pets always manage to put a smile on our faces. Quarantine has brought some good additions to the neverending supply of four-legged companion photos. With so many people having much more time to spend with their adorable dogs, we are happy to say that there are just so many more of their pictures online. What’s even better is that some pet photo “genres” are getting amazing contributions. One of them is the “pets doing classwork” genre.

As college professor Marie-Amélie George has pointed out, this particular genre is quite underappreciated. While we have seen some of these cool photos before, we haven’t seen so many of them yet. Thanks to George, who inspired people to share photos of smart dogs out with homework after saying that she asks her students to share them with her, we could make a list of them. So scroll down below to see the funny dog photos!

With so many animal pictures online, it’s no surprise that 68% of US households have a pet. That equates to 84.6 million homeowners who are happy to come home to their loyal companions at the end of the day.

It’s already proven that our furry friends have a positive impact on our overall well-being, and scientists are taking a closer look at their different types to see how exactly they affect our health.

Dr. Layla Esposito at News in Health’s Human-Animal Interaction Research Program explains that there’s no one answer to how a pet can help somebody. If a person’s goal is to be more physically active, then they might benefit from having a dog. If one wants to reduce stress, sometimes all it takes is watching fish swim for a calming effect. “So there’s no one type fits all,” she adds.

Various studies show that owning a pet reduces stress and loneliness, lowers blood pressure, increases feelings of social support, and improves mood.

These benefits are usually associated with more traditional pets, like dogs and cats. However, a home aquarium could have just as positive an effect on health. After all, there’s a reason why doctor’s offices have fish tanks in them.

Many people struggle to fall asleep, and watching fish can calm the body and mind enough to make one doze off, saving restless hours spent tossing and turning. The aquarium can also provide white noise that is proven to help people fall into slumber faster.

Having an aquarium in a workspace can also improve focus and boost creativity, maximizing productivity as a result. The visual stimulation of active fish may have therapeutic effects, such as giving the mind something else to prioritize or letting your brain rest while working through a complex issue.

Additionally, alpacas, a close relative of llamas, are renowned for their gentle and tolerant nature and have proven to be exceptional partners in animal-assisted therapy. These qualities are especially beneficial for individuals who may feel overwhelmed or threatened by human interactions. The presence of these furry friends creates a safe and nurturing environment, helping to develop trust and emotional bonds, improving morale, and enhancing social interaction.

Rabbits also make great therapy animals and emotional support pets. Many people affected by emotional stress find them calming. A person suffering from depression, PTSD, or schizophrenia benefits from petting a relaxed bunny, which can be soothing and healing.

A survivor of traumatic brain injury, Clawson, told Ameri Disability that caring for bunnies helped her with physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs. She can work on her balance and coordination when getting down on the floor to play with them or groom them. Cleaning out their litter boxes and picking up their supplies help to strengthen her body too.

“I’m able to shut out any worry or anxiety and just focus on my rabbits being silly or napping peacefully,” Clawson adds.

Using horses to help people even has its own term – equine therapy. It doesn’t necessarily involve riding them and instead offers an experience in which the therapist walks the person through activities and interactions with the animal. The emphasis here is on making a connection with the creature.

An individual may groom or feed it and learn how to harness and lead a horse around a small area. By creating a personal bond with a non-judgmental companion, one can gain empathy and independence and increase the level of stress one can handle.

Choosing animal-assisted therapy can be a great choice for a lot of people. Healthcare specialists may recommend it for various reasons, just with different goals in mind for each person.
