In this video, a sensitive horse shows that even animals have emotional intelligence
Apes solve tricky puzzles, dolphins have the ability to suffer emotionally and crows throw nuts on roads to crack them from passing cars - that animals are much smarter than we might suspect at first, has long been proven.
With a very special kind of intelligence, a horse from Israel draws attention when dealing with a little boy: The boy suffers from Williams-Beuren syndrome. This is a very rare gene defect, which occurs only with a frequency of 1: 20, 000 to 1: 50, 000. Symptoms include dwarfism, mild to moderate mental retardation, and developmental delay in walking and speaking.
The considerate horse immediately senses having a particularly vulnerable being near him. Very carefully, the animal approaches the boy and sniffs him timidly. The little human child is completely taken with his new friend and nestles his cheek against the nostrils of the Unpaarhufers.
Particularly moving: As a parting, the boy kisses one of the front legs of the horse. The animal keeps completely still - the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
