Seven months after he was sold to a new owner, a camel in Saudi Arabia recognized his previous owner, Mohammed bin Shouishan al-Sabaii, at a parade. The camel came up to al-Sabaii in the crowd of onlookers and wrapped his neck around him in an embrace.
The touching image has begun circulating on Arabic social media, with many noting that the camel's reaction shows that al-Sabaii must have been a very kind owner.
Al-Sabaii told Al-Arabiya about the encounter in an interview and insisted that camels are incredibly loyal animals who never, ever forget.
