Unlikely animal friends

The greatest thing about dogs is the love and devotion they give to the ones they love...even if the ones they love are unlikely friends.

I need all of these to be turned into Pixar movies immediately.

The Dodo serves up emotionally and visually compelling, highly sharable animal-related stories and videos to help make caring about animals a viral cause.

Some friendships might seem unlikely, but in reality, move mountains and melt hearts. A few years ago we wrote about a beautiful, yet uncommon, the friendship between a shepherd dog Ingo and an owl Poldi and today we present even more feathered friends of the pup.

Animals love their friends as much as any human! These range from the unusual to the strange to the just plain cute.

Too frickin' cute.

They say friends come in all shapes and sizes... Jotto the baby elephant was just 1-month-old when he fell in the well and separated from his herd. David Shelldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) took him to an elephant orphanage in Kenya where he could heal until he was ready to go back to the wild. Little did the rescuers know that even though there were plenty of elephants at the shelter, Jotto will become BFF with… an ostrich named Pea!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make it through this list without cooing or awwing. Good luck.
