In a heartwarming video, Alyssa introduces her ferret Mila, who she's had since Mila was just 8 weeks old. The footage shows Mila licking Alyssa's face and cuddling on her shoulder, challenging the stereotype that ferrets can't show affection like cats and dogs.

Hi, my name is Alyssa and this is Mila, my ferret. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. In this video you can see her licking my face as well as cuddling up on my shoulder. Ferrets have so many stereotypes, one being that they cannot show affection like cats and dogs. I shared this video to show the world how loving these little animals can really be and to share how powerful a bond between and animal and a human can be or as I say the term "soul pet"
