Arnold Schwarzenegger sharing his salad with rescue animals at his home shouldn't be this cute

Few things are more heartwarming than seeing people bond with animals in meaningful ways. While any responsible pet owner provides food, water, and care, some go the extra mile to show their love. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of them, and a recent video of him sharing his meal with his rescue animals has captured hearts online. As the actor enjoyed a salad, his pet donkey and miniature horse decided they wanted a taste too. Schwarzenegger posted the wholesome moment on Instagram, where he goes by @schwarzenegger.

The video opens with Schwarzenegger seated at a table, enjoying his salad. His miniature horse, Whiskey, waits patiently beside him, its head resting near the plate in anticipation. Noticing the horse’s subtle request, Schwarzenegger chuckles, "Yeah, would you like some? You'd like some salad?" the actor asked his pet as the horse continued to look at the plate with its head on the table. The actor picked a leaf from the plate and offered it to his horse who readily took it and finished it in no time. Soon enough, the actor's miniature donkey, Lulu, showed up at the table too.

The actor picked up another piece of salad from his plate and fed it to his donkey next. "No, this. Like this," he said as he moved his plate away and fed the donkey by picking up the leaf. "There, you have it." Whiskey brought his head forward, asking for more salad, and the man gladly obliged by feeding the horse another piece. The horse was about to eat the food right off the plate when the actor laughed and moved his plate away. "That's mine," Schwarzenegger giggled while trying to save his plate from his pets. Regardless, Lulu came back for another bite. "Now, what do you want? Yeah, are you sure?" he asked as Lulu kept looking at his plate. As the donkey walked away, it seemed to drop something from the table. The man wondered, "Uh oh, what did you do now?"

The caption read, "After my home workout, fueling up with Whiskey and Lulu." People took to the comments section of the video to express their awe over the wholesome interaction between the actor and his pets. @jmpjam commented, "Just sat here quickly planning the pony and donkey sanctuary we can run when you’re back!"

@5oclocksomewhere remarked, "Having lunch with your rescue animals while wearing a shirt depicting yourself flexing is a flex." @carollinehirsch shared, "How nice of you to have a donkey... very few people care about these animals." @shurigjames expressed, "The only creature that Schwarzenegger can trust is his little pony. Everybody else envies him." @pianocat revealed, "I would watch this as a movie. The rescue pony steals a cookie and runs. Arnold chases it. Arnold: 'Put that cookie down!'"
