Since the beginning of time, humans and the natural world have had a tight interaction. something that is still in existence today. Even though most of us can’t imagine what it’s like to live far from the busy city life we’ve grown accustomed to, there are still plenty of people who lead peaceful, off-grid lives in the middle of the woods.

One such person is Seppo Laamanen, a 65-year-old man who lives by himself in his cozy house in the woodlands of Finland. Seppo lives alone, but he’s never felt lonely because the animals that live by his step door have always been great friends to him. However, he shares the closest bond with one particular otter. Now, Seppo gets daily visits from his four-legged friend. The elderly man eagerly awaits his visit each morning!

A few winters ago, it all started. Back in the day, Seppo was shocked to see the small animal on his doorstep begging for food. The lake was almost entirely frozen, making it extremely chilly outside and difficult for the baby otter to locate food. The kindly man named Seppo offered some fish to his strange guest, who accepted with great enthusiasm. A beautiful friendship began at that moment. One that went viral when someone decided to post about these two friends online.






Having settled down in Seppo’s house, the amiable otter has made the elderly man quite happy. With winter quickly approaching, Seppo always makes sure to stock his pantry with extra food in case his otter pal decides to invite some of his other furry friends over.
