Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, from an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, discovered the tiny penguin languishing on rocks in 2011.

He was astonished when, just a few months later, the penguin returned to the island where he recognised Mr de Souza and returned home with him.

Now, Dindim spends eight months of the year with Mr de Souza and spends the rest of his time breeding off the coast of Argentina and Chile.

There’s still some humanity left in the world.

So long, thanks for the fish! I’ll be back in four months!

I saw this yesterday and thought it was so sweet. I wonder if Dindim was a very young penguin when found and imprinted on the man who rescued him.

[gorush]

That would be my guess.

Sounds like Dindim has a pretty good life.

When I saw the headline mentioning a Penguin, I thought it was about Hillary.

Sounds like some college students I know...

Now, Dindim spends eight months of the year with Mr de Souza and spends the rest of his time breeding off the coast of Argentina and Chile.
