Rescued swan hugs the man that saved it

Richard Wiese is the host of the television show “Born to Explore”. Wiese came across an injured swan while visiting the U.K.’s Abbotsbury Swannery. The swan had flown into a chain-link fence.

“When I put it next to me I could feel its heart beating and it just relaxed its neck and wrapped it around mine. It’s a wonderful moment when an animal totally trusts you,” Wiese told ABC News.

“I pulled it to my chest and somehow it felt comfortable or safe”

“It’s a really terrific feeling when you feel that bond and mutual trust with this non-verbally communicating animal…”
