Animals have a unique ability to comfort people, especially when they are going through tough times. That’s exactly what happened to João Eber da Rocha, who was injured in a truck accident and has been bedridden since then. However, recently he received a special visit from a therapy horse named Paçoca, and the emotional moment was captured on video.
#
In the heartwarming video, Paçoca lays his head down on João’s chest, as if to let him know everything is going to be okay. João becomes emotional and starts crying, moved by the sweet horse’s visit. The video has since gone viral, with over 7 million views, and it’s a reminder of the power animals have to help and comfort people during their times of need.

Animal therapy has been found to be effective for a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It can also help people with physical disabilities by improving mobility and balance. Horses, in particular, are known for their gentle nature and their ability to connect with people on a deep level.

This heartwarming story is a testament to the power of animal therapy and the importance of compassion and connection in healing. We wish João a speedy and healthy recovery, and hope that Paçoca continues to inspire people when they need it.
