Araw-Araw Nasa Dalampasigan ang Batang ito Para sa Kanyang Kakaibang Kaibigan

Kids are naturally drawn to animals. At a young age, children can already form incredible and lasting bonds with their pets. In most cases, they treat their pets not just merely as animals, but also as a friend, or even a family member. Indeed, kids have a soft spot in their hearts for their furry friends.

But it is not only cats or dogs that can be great pets. This kid from Spain proved that even marine animals can form an incredible bond with humans. This is the heartwarming story of little Joel and how he found an unlikely friend in an ocean stingray.

According to Animal Channel, Joel is from Valle Gran Rey in the Canary Islands. Since their area is surrounded by water, it's not surprising why most kids often spend time on the beaches. Among them was Joel, who eventually formed a friendship with a rare sea creature.

In a video, we can see how Joel calls on his friend to appear. After a few moments, the giant stingray resurfaces from the water and greets Joel. According to the article, apparently, this has been a morning ritual for Joel and his friend to greet each other every day.

Every day, Joel goes to the shore to greet his friend. Other fishermen who work on the island have also grown fond of the giant stingray. They give Joel a box of shrimp, which he happily feeds to his stingray friend. After its completely full, the marine creature will then return to its home in the sea.

As expected, this video immediately went viral on social media. Thousands of people all over the world were touched by Joel's amazing heartwarming friendship with this stingray. Indeed, this just proves that stingray can be friendly too!
