A best friend is one of the best gifts that life can give us. When we need someone when we are down, when we have a funny joke to tell, or when we just need to sit in silence with someone, a friend is there for us. Unsurprisingly, dogs have friends too!

It is always a wonderful thing when someone decides to adopt a dog. Going home with a loving family can be one of the happiest days for many dogs! Part of the experience, however, means leaving behind some friends.

For kennels where the dogs are given space to play and frolic, they also develop friends.

Kennels that give their dogs space to play are always preferred if possible. When dogs can play, they also develop friendships! Marshmallow and her friend, Scooby, had developed a friendship over the year they spent in the kennels together. Many people adopt two dogs for this reason! Healthy Pets says:

Two well-matched dogs can become best of friends, providing each other with companionship and a built-in playmate. For dogs that will be left alone for several hours during the day, having a puppy pal to socialize with can mean the difference between destructive boredom-driven behaviors and a happy, well-stimulated or contented pooch. It can even help with separation anxiety.

When Scooby was adopted, Marshmallow was heartbroken.

When the humans came to check on the dogs, the found Marshmallow crying in her kennel with her toy, missing her friend. What a heartbreaking scene! They immediately knew what the issue was because of how much the two loved each other.

The staff went out of their way to comfort the dog.

The idea of an idyllic surprise meeting is the stuff of poems! Maybe on a walk one day, Marshmallow will be walking with her new owner and having a great time smelling some bushes. Across the street, Scooby will see her and start pulling on his owner’s leash to take him to the other side. Since Marshmallow is deaf, she won’t hear him come up behind her. When she finally turns around, the two will have a reuniting like a romantic movie scene!

Maybe that won’t happen… but the two are being loved as they deserve.
