Interspecies friendship can cause an overflowing love
Hope you are ready for cuteness…

Themba, the baby elephant, lost his mother after she fell down a cliff. The team at the Shamwari Rehabilitation Centre rescued him and for two years they dedicated their lives to getting this very special orphan back to the wild.
Themba soon befriended a very patient sheep named Albert, and together they formed a bond as strong as any human friendship. Albert never left Themba’s side and would follow Themba and his carers on long walks; share in Themba’s favourite snack of acacia pods; and when Themba took a dust bath, so did Albert. If any of the other animals at the Rehabilitation Centre tried to join in their fun and games, super protective Albert would make it quite clear that they were most unwelcome. The unlikely pair also made friends with a baby giraffe, and enemies with a baby hippo.

FYI, “themba” means “hope” in Swazi! These guys are PRECIOUS.

ADORABLE. this just helps to prove that even “dangerous” dog breeds can be sweet loving gently pets, so long as that’s how they’re raised. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.
^^Exactly my thoughts. Pitties are one of my favorite dog breeds, just because they’re so lovable.
I bet you that pinscher wouldn’t ever hurt the kitten and probably fuck a dog up if anything happened to his itty bitty friend.
Abandoning the (really good) discussion about “dangerous” breeds and reminiscing about my old dog and our cat when he was a kitten.
Shadow was the sweetest mommy dog to our cat Wally when we took him in as a kitten, and god, when she passed on, Wally was a mess.
So this just kind of touches my heart and goes to show that animals can have some really, really touching relationships, no matter what anybody says.

Bakka the cheetah and her best buddy, Miley the dog.
The zoo keeps cheetahs paired with dogs because it helps keep these highly-strung cats calm and happy, basically supplying a therapy dog/BFF for each. Sidenote: all the dogs and cheetahs are super goddamn cute and friendly. I wanted to take the puppy dogs home with me.
“DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER…”
My mom’s friend adopted this lovely dog after he was abandoned by his previous family. His name is Shaun. Shaun had always been very good at eating all his food. Every last bit that was, he ate it. One day he started leaving a little bit behind. He wouldn’t eat everything, no matter what. He always left a little behind. Every morning when my mom’s friend checked Shaun’s bowl, the food was gone. That was very strange, because Shaun always spent the night by her side.
One night she decided to investigate the food situation. She waited quietly by the food bowl and then, in the middle of the night, a cat came through the window and ate the remaining food. She noticed the cat was actually pregnant. A week or so later the cat came into her house and gave birth to 6 little kittens. Shaun took care of them as if they were his own babies. My mom’s friend adopted the cat too (her name is Meow) and they took care of the kittens until they all found a loving home. Nowadays Meow and Shaun live happily together as a family and they each have their little bowl of food.interracial couples are always cute
Oh my god that is so precious.
KITTENS YOUR DADDY IS A DOGGIE. YOU ARE SOME LUCKY BABIES.
I AM MAKING THE WEIRDEST NOISE RIGHT NOW.
