What did Reddit users say about the video?

“Dude going to check the plant up close was heartwarming,” shared a Reddit user. “This made me realise how we took so many things for granted. We should be more thankful,” posted another. “The way he turned and bolted, I thought he was on his way out for an adventure,” expressed a third.

“I remember when my brother first got glasses. The optician told him to look out the shop window to the street. His reaction? 'I can see the leaves!' The tree was on the other side of a 4-lane busy road and for the first time he realised that people can see individual leaves on a tree. Cutest thing ever,” shared a fourth. “Loved the video,” wrote a fifth.
