The food you pack in your lunchbox for school or work every day has the power to spread love and joy, if you're willing to share a little. You can share it with friends, colleagues, or even a cute, furry companion. In a viral Instagram video, Devansh Barua, an ISSF shooter (International Shooting Sport Federation), gave us a glimpse of his lunchtime after shooting practice. The athlete decided to share his dabba with an unexpected yet adorable friend - a squirrel.
The heartwarming clip looks straight out of a Disney movie. Barua is seen sitting outdoors when a curious squirrel climbs onto his lap to check what's for lunch.
The small creature eagerly looks inside the boxes and happily nibbles on tiny treats given by the athlete, who cannot stop smiling at his food-loving companion.
