Pit Bull's Gentle Interaction With a Butterfly Is Straight Out of a Fairy Tale
For decades, a few unlucky dog breeds have gotten a bad rap that they don't deserve. A handful of individuals and incidents colored the way people view entire breed families, like Pit Bulls, but in reality, they're just as loving as any other dogs. Just ask @kaylacherry16!
This proud dog mom adores her two pure-hearted Pitties, but she's never been prouder than when one of her pups shared the sweetest moment with a butterfly. The precious boy was as curious and gentle as can be, but his sister couldn't have been more oblivious to the fairytale scene unfolding right next to her.
@kaylacherry16 Just a dog and his butterfly… #meanbreadmeetsbutterfly

Could this boy be any sweeter? He looked so curious about his fluttering new friend, but he didn't get overly excited or make any attempt to bite it. As many pet parents noted in the comments, not all dogs are so cool, calm, and collected.
"See, my dogs would've eaten it," @smokyy_kay admitted. "He's such a sweetie." You're not alone! Many dogs have a higher prey drive than this unfazed pup, and no one can predict a curious butterfly's flight path quickly enough to say 'no.'

Fortunately for Kayla, her easygoing guy doesn't need any supervision. She knows he's such a good boy, and "the way he wants the butterfly to get down safe," has viewers like @pisno993 holding back tears. Even though he didn't know what to do (the butterfly's tiny legs must've tickled his nose!), being careful with his new friend was his top priority.
Meanwhile, his sister is off in her own little world! She may be mere inches away from the cutest interaction ever, but she's more interested in the dog treat she's holding between her paws. Who can blame her?
Interspecies Animal Friendships
Unlikely animal friends are always a hit online, whether it's two dogs with opposite personalities or a curious horse and a tiny jumping spider. Friendship comes in all shapes and sizes, and every duo is as cute as the last!
"My Pittie saw a spider inside last week and was wagging her tail happily at it," shared @ramona_roo. "Too sweet for this world." Dogs could make friends with just about anyone, even a critter as tiny as a bug.
