There are some videos that you watch that take you on an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re crying, not sure you will be able to keep watching, and the next you’re laughing, tears of joy streaming down your face. That is exactly what unfolds in a TikTok posted by @thebraleyfamily. This video features a sweet bottle-fed lamb who grew up inside the Braleys’ home, and the time finally came for her to rejoin her outside friends. The only issue? She did not want to!
The video opens with a tiny lamb curling up into a ball on the living room floor. The words on the screen read, “We thought it was time for our bottle lamb to step outside with her friends….” In the next clip, we see her trotting across the grass beside a little girl, hopping with pure excitement as she’s brought over to meet the other sheep. It truly feels hopeful, and as a big milestone has just occurred, that is, until nighttime arrives.
As darkness falls, the mood begins to change. The lamb stands at the fence under a flashlight beam, crying out for her family in the most heartbreaking little bleats. It is the kind of sound that instantly breaks you. As for her humans? They couldn’t bear to hear that sad sound anymore. They knew exactly what they had to do!
They bring the precious lamb back inside, and what unfolds next can only be described as unfiltered joy and happiness. Clip after clip shows her bouncing around the living room, playing with a dog toy, leaping onto the dog bed, and even launching herself onto the couch. We witness the happiest of zoomies occur as if she is now officially a dog. At one point, she proudly chews on a plush toy as if she had been a house dog her entire life. The final clip reads, “I think she might be happy to be back.” Understatement of the century!
