A video shared by Facebook content creator @EasternCapeisbeautiful has captured the heartwarming moment when a woman discovered her pet sheep had given birth to a lamb. The clip was posted at the end of April with the simple but powerful caption:
"Celebrate your small wins."
In the video, the woman was in the middle of recording content for one of her pages when she noticed something happening at the bottom of her yard. Immediately, her face lit up with excitement as she grabbed the phone from the person recording her and ran towards a shed.
As she reached the structure, which served as a shelter for her pet sheep, the camera showed her sheep with a newborn lamb trying to walk around its mother and nurse.

Why pets make us happy
The woman's reaction in the video shows the strong emotional bond humans can form with animals.
Research shows that spending time with pets can trigger the release of oxytocin in our bodies. This hormone, often called the "love hormone," helps reduce stress and anxiety, decreases pain sensitivity, increases empathy, and improves self-confidence. All these effects contribute to making people feel calmer and happier around their animal companions.
For many pet owners, their animals become valued family members. The relationship brings structure, companionship, and unconditional love that enhances their daily lives.
Pets are also incredibly attuned to their owners' behaviours and routines. They study us closely and learn to recognise our habits, sometimes seeming to read our minds when they anticipate our actions. This further strengthens the connection between humans and animals.
