These days, amidst fears of a climate change-induced apocalypse and unhinged, criminal politicians edging us toward war, it's hard enough just getting out of bed in the morning. To help, I present to you this video of a dog hugging a horse.

After coming back from an outing, this adorable Aussie Shepherd from Sweden, named Orion, decided to give their horsey pal Destiny a big hug. It's the most precious show of bipartisan love the internet has seen since at least 2016.

Thank you for this truly inspiring display, Destiny and Orion.
