Dogs In Mexico Pursue Friendship Despite Fence That Divides Them

Dogs are known for being “man’s best friend,” however, recent footage caught by Edith Govea proves that they can be pretty good friends with each other, as well. Edith was on a trip to visit family in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, when she witnessed the heartwarming scene between two very unlikely friends.

Edith told The Dodo that it all started when a tiny white dog in someone’s fenced yard went over to the wooden gate and began desperately trying to climb it. Rather than looking like it was trying to escape, it seemed that the dog was searching for something. Watching in confusion, Edith was surprised when a large German Shepherd came into view. It seemed that this was the friend that the smaller dog had been waiting to see!

The two dogs jumped up on their hind legs so that they could reach through the metal fence bars and “hug” each other. With the tremendous height difference and the size of the wooden gate, the smaller dog had to jump up and cling onto the fence with its back legs dangling in the air. The white dog tucked it’s head under that of the German Shepherd, obviously happy to snuggle.

But the dogs weren’t satisfied with just a hug. The smaller dog began desperately trying to climb higher up the fence. The German Shepherd tried to help by using her paws to attempt to raise the little friend. When this didn’t work, the German Shepherd employed her teeth to grab hold of the scruff of the small dog’s neck so that she could help drag him close to the fenced railing.

When the little dog was high enough on the fence, he managed to squeeze right through the bars and landed on the ground beside his large friend. Once they were together, the two friends were able to play and spend time side by side. Edith was so stunned by the display that she caught it on video using her device before uploading it to the internet. She told The Dodo that the German Shepherd’s name is “Bunny” and the smaller dog is “Malik.”

The video is truly amazing. Watch it for yourself so that you can appreciate the devotion that these two friends share. Have you ever known dogs that had such a close connection? Leave their story in the comments section below and then invite your friends to learn more about Bunny and Malik!
