These Unexpected Animal Friendships Prove Love Has No Boundaries!

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” 
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

A good friend is an essential thing to have in life. In spite of differences and disagreements, people (or animals, in this case) can come together and show one another love, loyalty, gratitude, and devotion.

These unusual, interspecies animal friendships may not only surprise you, but inspire you to show that special someone in your life just how much you care. We can learn quite a bit from our animal friends on tolerance and the ability to see more of what we have in common than what makes us different.

Please SHARE these amazing and unexpected stories of animal friendships with someone you love!
