Gentle Rescue Dog Forms A Special Bond With A Playful Rat, And Now They Are Inseparable

The friendship between animal species is one of the purest and most beautiful things on the planet. I always say this when writing about this topic. There is no barrier in their relationship. A rescued fox befriends a dog. A baby elephant becomes the best friend of a giraffe. A trio of a tiger, lion, and bear live together as a family. So admirable! These creatures are better at making friends than us, humans.

Osiris (name of the dog) is a Dutch Shepherd. He has helped foster and care for dozens of animals. This means that the gentle animal has enough patience and love for his tiny rat friend, Riff Rat.

Regarding the rat, he always shows off his energy and happy vibes when staying with his giant friend. The tiny animal was rescued when he was just 4 weeks old.

Friendship comes in all shapes and sizes. Who thinks that a dog and a rat can get along so well? But these odd friends have proved that everything is possible. They make friends with each other and a beautiful relationship blossoms between the two.

Osiris and Riff Rat love spending time together. They sleep, eat and play with their friend. The joyful rat gets interested in licking the inside of Osiris’ mouth. And you are all curious about the dog’s reaction, right?

The calm animal lets his tiny friend play with his tongue. He even opens his mouth widely and pretends to eat the rat. The odd friends get tons of fun with this game. Adorable!

“Seeing them care for each other and have such an unexpected friendship gives me a tiny bit of hope for the rest of the creatures on this planet — especially humans :),” their human said on Instagram.
