If you ever watched cartoons or read comic books when you were younger, you have seen animals of different species being portrayed as enemies. Maybe it was cats and dogs, maybe it was mice and cats, or maybe it was birds and cats. But these stories are just fiction and, in real life, all house animals can be friends.

Even small guinea pigs can be friends with large dogs. This big dog seems very protective of its little rodent friend. And the fluffy little fella knows he can trust his canine friend. This is a great example of true friendship: it doesn’t see sizes or species. So inspiring.
