"This animal bestie story warmed my cold, dead heart."

I do not care about cute animal stories. I just don’t. I’m the type of person who likes eating lambs, not looking at pictures of them.

But damn it, this two-legged Chihuahua is best friends with a fluffy chicken and it is pretty much the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. My heart is officially thawing.

This is Roo the Chihuahua and his BFF Penny Chicken:

They were both adopted by the Duluth Animal Hospital in the US when they were just a few weeks old. Roo is in a wheelchair because he’s missing his front two legs. He was rescued from a ditch where his owner had dumped him. Penny Chicken was saved from a life of animal testing. Apparently they immediately took a shine to one another, and now they just spend their days hanging and snuggling. SNUGGLING!

Chillin’ at the park. My heart is warming.

Official Christmas portrait. Oh god. Heart getting warmer.

 

My heart used to be as cold as that snow.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH.

Penny keeping Roo’s tootsie’s warm while they NAP TOGETHER. I CAN’T TAKE IT.

MATCHING JUMPERS. I’M WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I’M LOSING MY MIND.

And finally, leaving footprints in the snow together. Be still my beating heart!

A friendship for the ages.

I love this so much - probably because I find chihuahua's strangely adorable.

I know a lot of people think they look like 'drowned rats', but I love them. Perhaps BECAUSE I know a lot of people don't like them, and I want to root for the underdog. ;)

Rosie, who puts a 2 legged dog that can only roll backwards presumably and a fluffy white chicken with no eyes in the damn snow?? Do they not have enough problems without HYPOTHERMIA ;)

I can't stop laughing. And that bloody chihuaha looks like it'd bite anything that looked it at the wrong way. With the exception of the chicken of course...
