Adventurous couple stumble upon a tiny, mysterious animal while at the lake, they get charmed by it and decide to take it home to look after, later realizing it's actually a baby otter

Lake life just got a whole lot better, because what makes a day of sunbathing or eating day-old steak rolls even better: forming a forever friendship with a baby otter, that's what! When we think of our dream pets, we often envision majestic dolphins or curious elephants, both animals big and small… But truthfully, I've personally never thought of what it might be like to have an otter…and now I cannot understand why! They have big eyes that could make your heart melt, whilst sitting within the palm of your hand. 

They're fun, silly, and love to snuggle…basically like a child, minus all the birth and schooling blah blah…There's no doubt they would be the cutest pet for bathtime, or someone to keep you company while watching your favorite Netflix show, and while many otters belong in the wild…this little guy seemed to have found his forever home on a random sunny day…and no one's seemed to have looked back since!
