Among domesticated animals, dogs are perhaps the friendliest on the list. Whenever a dog is with its owner, the love they share is obvious.

This has also made it easy for a dog to make friends with other animals — not just humans. We see this ability for interspecies friendship between Rita the horse and Balu the dog. After months of being separated, the two reunited, and their reaction is beautiful. Luckily, someone caught the exchange on video back in 2015.

People who own dogs are very familiar with the lengths a dog can go to give back love. There is a lot documented about dogs making life bonds with different animals. The internet was graced with such a relationship between a dog and a horse, who have a powerful bond.

Horses, just like dogs, are very gentle, and they often have loving relationships with their owners. This made it easy for the two friendly creatures to develop a unique kind of friendship. Balu, the dog, and Rita, the horse, were always together doing lots of things with each other. From taking walks in the fields to sharing play time, they also napped together during the day. Unfortunately, this bond was broken for a while.

Rita accidentally strayed away from her home and ended up in another farmer’s stable. When she wandered off, the farmer spotted her and caught her. According to PawBuzz, the new owners claimed her as their own, and it took a lengthy court battle for her original owner to bring her back.

This battle took close to seven months, a duration in which Balu never saw his best friend. Their time without each other must have strengthened their friendship. For other animals, a short time apart can mean a breach of their friendship bond, but this was not the case with Balu and Rita.

When they were reunited, the experience was quite unforgettable. For the two friends, the seven months of absence did not affect their fondness for each other. They were back to the friendship they always had before their time apart! The instant chemistry as the two kissed and hugged is just so adorable and heartwarming.

In the video, the excited horse playfully snuggles up against Balu, who reciprocates by getting closer and kissing the horse. The horse then goes ahead and lovingly licks the dog all over, showing love and warmth. The dog stands and allows himself to get showered with affection.

As the video goes on, Balu is seen looking up whenever Rita takes her tongue off him. It looks as if he is begging his best friend to keep the love strokes going!

It is evident that the two have been best friends for a long time, a bond they are not ready to give up on since time apart would not separate their hearts. Even with them being apart for a very long time, their hearts remained in sync, and it must have been a very sad period for the two animals.
