A video of a four year old local boy, Þórður Bragi, and his friend, the foal Köggur, playing with one another, running around and cuddling is the perfect distraction for a dark winter morning! The video, shot by Þórður Bragi‘s mother, has taken Iceland social media by storm in the last couple of days.
Sigurlína Erla Magnúsdóttir, who shared the video on Facebook, told the local newspaper DV that the two had become friends almost immediately after Köggur was born. She lives at the farm Ríp in Skagafjörður fjord, in North Iceland with her family.

Sigurlína told DV that the birth of Köggur was unexpected and came earlier than they had prepared for. The mare was quickly moved into the stables, and Þórður Bragi got to see the foal just after it was born. He even got to pick the name for the foal, which comes from the popular Nickelodeon children‘s show Pet PAW Patrol: Köggur is the Icelandic name of the character Rubble in the series.
“Ever since that day they have become more and more curious about one another. He comes with us to the stables, where we have allowed Köggur to come out and run around with Þórður. The two of them then play tag.” She told DV that it was obvious the two had a special bond: “Köggur seeks Þórður out. He is far more likely to follow him than he is to follow us.”
