Armchair travel to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
Tourism has found a way to adjust to the "new normal" of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can virtually explore ancient Egyptian tombs, hike the Grand Canyon or even check out the Great Barrier Reef with Sir David Attenborough himself — all from the couch. Sightseeing is great and all, but what if I told you that you could level up your VR experience with some pet therapy?
The Best Friends YouTube playlist is filled with 360-degree virtual experiences where you not only can visit our picturesque Utah sanctuary, but also get a much-needed endorphin assist. How? You can immerse yourself in a virtual snuggle with cats or virtually sit in a yard full of puppies. We all need a dose of cuteness overload to get through this. When you need a break from discouraging headlines, do yourself a favor and have a virtual date night with these adorable fur friends from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
