Joao Pereira de Souza is a retired fisherman and bricklayer who lives in a hut near the beach on an island near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Four years ago he found a wild Magellanic penguin in distress, covered in oil and starving. The bird had wandered some 3,000 to 5,000 miles away from its breeding grounds off Patagonia. So he took it home, bathed it, and fed it sardines until the animal was strong enough to be released back to sea.

Now the penguin, which Mr. de Souza has named Dindim, returns every year, waddling right up to his hut, and stays for many months before heading back out in February.

"I love the penguin like it's my own child, and I believe the penguin loves me," said Mr. Pereira de Souza in an interview with Globo TV.

"I have never seen anything like this before," said biologist Joao Paulo Krajewski, who met with Mr. de Souza and Dindim recently. "When (Dindim) sees him he wags his tail like a dog and honks with delight."
