Penguin becomes this Brazilian’s most loyal companion 



A retired man in Brazil seemingly made a friend for life when he saved a penguin native to South America. For the past five years this same penguin changed its natural habits and chooses to visit his savior a couple of times a year, reported odditycentral.com on Wednesday.

The penguin's savior is João Pereira de Souza, a retired brick-layer from Rio de Janeiro. He happened to save the penguin in 2011 when he found it near his home. He took the animal home to clean it up and feed it food, and that’s when a strange friendship began to take shape. 

Even when the old man tried to send the penguin back to ocean, it kept coming back to him, to the extent that it would change its natural habit such as breeding seasons just to reunite with the man, staying for a number of days and leaving again.
