Apr 02, 2019 by apost team

Animals make for the most amazing companions. Free from prejudice and bias, all animals want to do is show their love to the world. While animals are known to bond with humans, they can also bond with other animals. Cats raised together look to each other as their soulmates and companions, even if they are from different litters.

Interspecies animal bonding is also common. A pair of loveable golden retrievers is taking the internet by storm with all the animal friends they’ve made at their home in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Bob, who is five years old, and Marley, who is three years old, are two typical golden retrievers. The duo run, play and spend all day together. Bob and Marley are also some of the luckiest dogs you’ll ever meet too, as they have many friends. Along with their human caretaker, Luiz, Bob and Marley share their home with a hamster and eight birds. 

Luiz shares some of the happy moments Bob and Marley have with their menagerie of friends on social media.

One cute photo that has been liked over 11,000 times features Bob napping under a blanket with Luiz’s birds. Another features Marley relaxing on a couch with a little blue bird resting on his big paw.

So far, Bob and Marley have over 300,000 followers, making them one of the most popular animal accounts on Instagram.
