There are a lot of folks around the world who fancy themselves animal lovers, and even more who would love to pet absolutely every fuzzball they come across, their own safety be d**ned.
Allan Dixon, dubbed the “animal whisperer”, actually does get close to the animals who seem to love him, and he has the selfies to prove it.
Here are 15 that are totally adorable, and hard to believe to boot!
1. This guy is obviously the GOAT.
This goat is too much for words. That smile!
2. Alpacas are so adorably dopey.

No matter whether or not they might kill you for it.
I want to live this guy’s life, if only for a day or two.
These animals are so pure, and they must recognize something of the same in this guy’s soul, don’t you think?
