Dindim crossed the ocean to revisit the man who saved him. 🐧

Dindim crossed the ocean to revisit the man who saved him. 🐧 . . . In 2011, JoΓ£o Pereira de Souza, a retired bricklayer, found the oil-covered penguin on Ilha Grande off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and nursed him for 11 months. Dindim eventually returned to seaβ€”but repeatedly came back after months away. The wild penguin apparently decided one human belonged on his migration route.
