Animal lovers pay attention: this is your new favorite account on Instagram

Feeling stressed? Then definitely take a minute to look at the face of a laughing baby goat and it will go away, trust me. Or does that friend need a pick-me-up? She will surely appreciate that fluffy mini squirrel. For everyone looking for realness on the Gram, I found an account that gives you a warm feeling in your belly. Enter: @lovinganimals.dg

I just scrolled for (no shame) at least an hour and the more cute animals I saw, the more touched I became. It also immediately raises questions for me. What about that special bond between humans and animals? Can we really speak of an emotional bond? Is our love for animals mutual as well? Anyone who has ever seen the movie about the Japanese dog Hachiko understands that the bond between humans and animals goes much deeper than we sometimes realize. If you still doubt that, I suggest you fire up ‘My Octopus Teacher’ on Netflix; a documentary about how a burned-out filmmaker finds joy in life and work again through the emotional bond he builds with an octopus as a diver.

Anyway: if you need a dose of good news and a range of mega beautiful (!) animal moments today like I do; you know where to find that follow button. Monkeys. Goats. Fish. Puppies. Everything!
