And now they've become best friends!

While on a walk, Tinni and his owner, Torgeir Berge, were on a walk together in the forest when they met a wild fox.

The pair instantly hit it off...

And now every time they visit the forest, the pair meet up to play around with each other despite all their differences.

Isn't that just the cutest thing you've ever heard?

The experience has changed Berge’s mind about Norway’s fox-fur trade. He now wants to help work to ban the hunting of foxes. We love it!

Friends that climb together, stay together.

Chicken and chihuahua.

This unlikely combination found a love for each other while they were at Duluth Animal Hospital.

Penny, the chicken was rescued from a laboratory, while Roo was found on the roadside.

“She was an experimental chicken in the program and she had run the course of the experiment, so that was it for her," Williams told the Gwinnett Daily Post. “I asked if I could have her instead of them doing anything with her. I brought her home."

And since then, they haven't stopped spending time with each other.

Did you ever think you'd see a two-legged dog and an overly fluffy chicken taking a walk in the snow? It's one of life's simplest pleasures.

This incredibly wholesome encounter happened at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Cornwall, England.

Stanley and Aayla instantly hit it off.

Aayla is one of the sanctuary's friendliest rescue seals, and she frequently makes friends with the four-legged visitors. While visiting with his owner, Stanley struck up the unlikely friendship, and the pair spent around twenty-minutes checking each other out and posing for photographs.

Herman the Pigeon and Lundy the Chihuahua.

via: Facebook

These 2 cuties found themselves forming a close friendship when they both ended up in the same dog bed, at The Mia Foundation.

Herman the bird arrived at the foundation several years ago.

via: Facebook

He was found outside a car dealership, sitting motionless. Sue Rodgers, who founded The Mia Foundation in 2012, received a call about the Pigeon. She was able to nurse Herman back to health, but he never regained the ability to fly.

Due to Herman's condition, he is now a permanent resident.

via: Facebook

Rogers regularly brings the bird outside, which is where Herman met Lundy. Lundy arrived at The Mia Foundation at just 4 weeks old. His owner was unable to care for the pup due to his special needs. Lundy showed signs of not being able to walk at an early age.

The two animals automatically gravitated towards each other.

via: Facebook

Rogers said: “The way they interacted was so cute." Herman even displayed some maternal behaviour towards Lundy. The pictures of the pair bonding have reached over seven-thousand likes, and nine-thousand shares on Facebook.

Rogers is hoping to help the little pup get a forever home.

Rogers said: “He is only 17 ounces, so we will have to wait on the chair." Herman is a permanent resident, but hopefully, when Lundy is healthy enough, he will be able to go up for adoption. Rogers has dedicated her life to helping animals born with birth defects. She is a true hero.
