Many times animals have the ability to brighten people’s lives. Their love and company mean that, even if someone is having a bad day, a pet or even a wild animal can bring a smile or tears of emotion.
That is what has happened to Alberto Ballar, an actor based in Rome who uploads videos to both TikTok and Instagram. He was walking through a forest and suddenly heard the bleating of a lamb.
He saw that there was a small white lamb among the reeds near a river, which was completely wet and could not move because its legs were not good. So Alberto decided to pick up the animal in his arms and take it to a safe place.
The video on TikTok has already accumulated more than 700,000 views, although it is also uploaded on Instagram, and the boy begins to get excited when he holds the lamb. “I was having a shitty day and this fixed it for me,” Ballar commented with tears in his eyes.
In the end he was able to find a farm, spoke with the owner and left the animal there, where it will have shelter and food. In subsequent days she has uploaded videos where she goes to visit the lamb to check that it is well cared for and cared for.
Many people have thanked him for his gesture and for taking them to a farm. However, other people have criticized him for having taken him to that place, saying that they will fatten him there to prepare him and that it would have been better if he had taken him to a sanctuary or an animal shelter.
