It’s easy — and fun — to give Kim Zolciak a hard time, because, like most reality stars, she can be a little ridiculous.
But her son Kash suffered a traumatic dog attack — just a little over a month ago.
Now Kim’s shared the most heartwarming update on his progress.
He’s doing so well!
Keep in mind that the attack was so vicious that he had to go to the hospital and undergo surgery.
He’s going to be just fine, but still.
Kim shared on Instagram that, even on his second day in the hospital, he was already happy to snuggle a service dog.
And now she’s sharing photos of him on Snapchat.where he helped a stray dog that had just given birth.
So, fair warning: these pics will melt even the iciest heart.
Most traumatic injuries are accompanied by emotional trauma. In some cases, it’s important to learn from the experience so that you never repeat a mistake.
In other cases, “learning” from your experience a little too well can keep you from enjoying life.
Most of us have, at some point or another, met someone with a gripping fear of dogs.
Sometimes it’s just an irrational fear, possibly brought about by — as fake as this sounds — traumatic experiences that their ancestors endured.
Look, scientists are saying that phobias might be caused by that, not us.
In other cases, they’re people who went through what young Kash did — they met one of the few dogs in this world that isn’t a being of absolute good.
If you had a traumatic experience with the ocean, fine, you can just avoid going into the ocean again. It’s easy — we’re not in the ocean right now.
Humans don’t really belong there anyway.
Dogs, on the other hand, are part of our families and part of our society.
Not being a dog person can kind of be a dealbreaker for a lot of future relationships.
And people will totally judge you for it. Dogs are precious and being afraid of them is gonna get in your way throughout life.
But just look at how well Kash is doing!
There are grown-ass adults who lack his maturity, but this little boy is 100% down to snuggle each and every dog.
Seriously, Kim Zolciak said that Kash kept trying to feed the stray dog his breakfast, because he is just unbearably sweet.
We wish him the speediest possible recovery.
We also wish that we knew more about the original incident where he was attacked.
But apparently Kim’s being tight-lipped about it … well, as tight as those lips of hers can get, anyway … based on legal advice.
That’s life, we guess.
But at least dogs are still cute.
