Dogs may be man’s best friend, but they don’t just stop there. They happen to be best friends to each other too. Dogs are known for being loyal, friendly and loving, and this doesn’t just stop in their treatment of humans. Dogs can also form life-long bonds with other dogs and maintain profound friendships for the duration of their lives. Sometimes, dogs are even born directly into great friendships.
I present you with Exhibit A: This golden retriever and his tiny puppy pal.
When he is first introduced to his bestie-to-be, he seems unsure what to do about it.
This golden retriever clearly doesn’t know what to make of this tiny black handful of fur presented to him. To be fair the ball of fur itself doesn’t seem to know what to make of the whole “life” thing. That’s fair enough by the looks of it he’s pretty new to life overall.
A cautious sniff reveals that yes, in fact this is a tiny baby dog.
Great work Detective Retriever, you cracked the case. Now for the matter of what to do with it….Obviously play with it! Before the little tike can even leave his box (or open its eyes!), Goldie is trying to play a game of take-the-shoe. Needless to say, our little pup is taking it literally in baby steps. Perhaps the games will have to wait.
Before long, the pupper is on its own four feet and eating!
Or, drinking, as it were. Not quite such a tiny bean any more, he’s tucking into a wee dish of milk with admirable gusto. Of course, he has his giant mate right beside him to keep him company at the milk bar.
And before you know it, they’re playing together!
It’s remarkable how fast puppies grow up. And as we can see, Golden Retriever doesn’t need a shoe to have fun. Puppy is so full of energy running back and forth and toying with the retriever. He has learnt from the best!
In fact, Puppy has more energy than the golden retriever can handle.
Even when it’s time for Goldie to chill, our little puppy pal runs circles around him, literally! One thing that anyone who’s ever spent time around puppies will know is that they require a LOT of attention, but all you have to do is wait for them to burn out.
And when they do, it’s just as adorable!
When the time does come to rest, they even do that together. How adorable are these two, snuggling together? They have completely gone from strangers to inseparable pals.
And what’s a friendship without a little friendly competition?
Specifically, these two love a little tug-of-war! I bet our golden retriever is so glad that the strange blind ball of fur in that box turned into such a fun friend to have! I can’t imagine how bored and lonely he must have felt waiting for a friend like this. Now, I’m sure they’re both grateful for each other.
