La Repubblica surrenders to the dog and the butterfly: it's irresistible

One of Italy's largest newspapers, La Repubblica, was captivated by the captivating video of a puppy playing with a butterfly in Santa Catarina. "The spectacle is incredible," the newspaper published.

“Lying at the door, this four-month-old puppy had fun with a butterfly. First he looks at her curiously, then tries to catch her, but when the butterfly lands on one of her legs, she remains motionless for a few seconds. Although the video made by the owner in Mirim Doce, Brazil, is only two minutes long, the show lasted more than an hour”, published the La Repubblica.
