Everyone likes making new friends, especially if the new friend in question happens to be a gigantic horse.

On Wednesday, the following picture began doing the rounds on Reddit.

It shows a Clydesdale horse meeting an elderly lady at an unnamed nursing home, and it is -- for want of a better phrase -- photo perfection.

The picture was shared on r/pics, where it was upvoted thousands of times.

"Extra large pet therapy at our nursing home today," Reddit user mrpazman wrote in the comments.

Glorious.
