“She’s a good friend of mine” ❤️
Rescued Otter Forms Unbreakable Bond with Swedish Kayaker
On his solo kayak trips across a misty Swedish lake, TikTok user Mats Janzon is never truly alone. His unusual companion, a wild otter named Leya, eagerly rushes to greet him, squealing with delight at his presence.
Janzon and Leya’s extraordinary friendship began a year and a half ago when he discovered the tiny otter crying alone in the woods. Hoping her mother would return, he left her be, but the next day, she remained. Tragically, Janzon later found her mother had been hit by a car. He stepped in to care for Leya until she was ready to survive on her own.
Now fully independent, Leya hunts, explores, and roams the wild—but she still chooses to spend time with Janzon whenever she can. “She’s a good friend of mine,” he says.
Despite their deep bond, Leya has never lost her survival instincts, navigating her world while sharing a unique, unspoken connection with the man who once saved her. Their peaceful companionship, documented online, has captivated viewers who find solace in their heartwarming story.
