There's something particularly aww-worthy about large scary men hanging out with tiny animals. It's just... not what your brain expects to see. You expect big large scary man to have big large doggo. So, when you see a dude-bro hanging out with a small kitten and your brain catches up with it... the immediate reaction is: "AWWWWWWW."

You know what makes what makes that even cuter? When the big large scary man is scared of the tini-tiny little puppy.

    Text - its-just-a-phage Follow The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don't pick me up!" One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him "did you see the sign?" He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don't pet them!" Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said

    Text - flowernstt I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He's a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your's is so small I think it's a good place to start."

    Text - * anotherdayforchaosfay Follow My husband had this Dungeons and Dragons group ages ago, and one of the guys was TERRIFIED of cats. The moment he sees one he freezes up and can barely breathe. Said guy is almost seven feet tall and solid wall of muscle. Whenever he came over l'd put the cats in the bedroom and chill out with a book because my cats don't like being shut away without one of us. One of my cats was pawing at the door and meowing loudly, an indication she REALLY needs to use th

    Text - Next thing I hear is the group going completely silent. My husband very calmly asks me to come over and help him gather our two cats up. I go over to where the group is and my black cat, Cacoa, is rubbing up against the guy's leg, purring, and doing her "let me on your lap" meow. The other cat, Jasper, is sitting at the window, chilling out. I go over and pick up Cacoa and tell the big dude she's harmless, loves laps, and would be thrilled if he pet her. Very slowly he touches my cat's fa

    Text - bluestonearcher Follow Used to work at a nature center, which was attached to an elementary school. Occasionally the fire alarms would go off, and for the most part, we'd all just go about our business (weekly fire drills for the kids didn't mean that the snakes tanks didn't need cleaning). In the middle of one of these alarms, I had a lovely 7' long red rat snake wrapped around me while I was cleaning up. (She was my favorite - active, but polite, never bit or struck or pulled back to th

    Text - And, of course, the screaming brought more fire fighters over, who also screamed... let's just say I had three trucks worth of dudes gathered around me, stunned that I would -wear- a snake. Who, of course, saw new people and was doing her best to make friends. Once the false alarm was sorted, they all came back, to a man, to meet the snakes. I had enough for each of them to “try one on." These big, buff dudes, who risk their lives running into raging fires without a thought, had to hype t
