MODERATORS
is this actually real or just a made up Facebook story?

Snopes says it’s true.
Fuck yeah. I’m so happy to see this once this kind of story is real
My brain immediately dismissed it because it sounds like socials clickbait. I can hear it with that annoying TikYok voice...
"This person or thing somewhere did or endured a thing that was so sad all hope was lost. But then the climax came and something unbelievable and happy happened. Now you got a squirt of dopamine and they all lived happily ever after. React and follow for more dopamine."
If it's real, the OP has spent way too long on socials, they're talking like a post bot.
I am old enough to remember when this happened. Sometimes all you need is a hug.
