Now these photos are a sight for sore eyes. Instead of teens staring down at their digital devices, here's a shirtless boy having good old-fashioned fun with his BFFs (buffalo best friends).

His unique interaction with the animals has attracted photographers from all over the world and even bagged an award for a local photographer in an international photography competition.

"I am not proud that I became viral. I am just happy because people used to put my father down for working as a buffalo breeder. But today, I am happy to make my father proud and to be able to change people's perception towards what my father does for a living," he said when interviewed at his home in Kampung Banggol Katong.
I love the boy's wisdom and humbleness.

Love this so much!!! But I'm not sure I could be as trusting around those large horns, lol. what a wonderful boy with a big heart! Hope your week is off to a good start :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

How cool (and a bit scary!) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't know about this, it's very heartwarming and I'm going to have to learn more about this kid. And yeah, a photo op for sure. I kind of like that photogs are hungry enough for a good shot that they'd seek him out but hope it doesn't interfere with him, his family or the herd.
ReplyDeleteVeronica,
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I wouldn't want to be best buds with buffalo, just look at those horns? That's really scary. It wouldn't take a blink of an eye for something to go wrong even accidentally. Where the kid is comfortable I am not but I did enjoy reading his humble appreciation for what dad's livelihood as a cattleman. A lot of kids can learn from this young boy's humbleness where so many acted privileged with spoiled, self-centered attitudes. They have no clue how good they have it. It's really so sad. Thanks for sharing!
Touching photos - so sweet - and the love is easily seen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! The boy obviously has a great love for those buffalo.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful. I love seeing kids doing something wonderful. I love it that he's proud of his father.

Good Morning my friend! Love, love, love your story! It's so pleasant to read about something good/happy instead of borders & people cold & hungry or even street people having no where to go & police being shot & killed. Our world is in turmoil right now that it almost makes me feel the Apocalypse is upon us. When I read THIS story it put a smile on my face & warmed my heart. Thank you my friend. Thank you. This is a most wonderful story & Post! HUGS Have a great day!
