Osiris the Dutch shepherd mix was abandoned as a pup. As a result, he grew up a little depressed, until his current owners rescued him. When his owners rescued a rat named Riff, he and Osiris became inseparable. They live together happily in Chicago.

This article talks about an odd animal relationship between Osiris and Riff. These two animals are very fond of each other and do most things together. However, they are from two different species that you never thought would get along. That’s because Riff is a rat, and Osiris is a Dutch shepherd.

The owners of Osiris rescued Riff when he was an infant. Osiris had been abandoned by his parents, and the owners of Osiris decided to nurse him back to health. The owners used a syringe to feed Riff when he was still a baby.

Because of the size difference, you’d think that a rat and a dog can’t be friends. Interestingly, Osiris and Riff have an amazing bond.

Osiris understands Riff better than any other animal or person. That’s because he was also saved as a puppy. The owners found him abandoned in a parking lot and took him home. They could have taken Osiris to an animal shelter, but they decided to make him part of the family because they had grown fond of him.

These two look cute when they play together.

The owners decided to make Osiris a therapy dog. He helps other animals rescued by the family adapt to the new life. It’s always a concern when two animals that are not used to each other are put together. The owners were worried that Osiris might not like Riff. To their surprise, the two instantly connected.

The trust between Osiris and Riff is amazing. For example, Riff can comfortably climb into Osiris’s mouth and clean his teeth without fearing for his life. The owners are not worried when Riff climbs into Osiris’s mouth because that’s what he’s trained to do. Osiris is a gentle dog without any hidden intentions.

Osiris and Riff are always playing together. They will move around the house and explore different spaces. Osiris and Riff also cuddle with each other. Although the size difference can be an issue when cuddling, they do all right.

One of things that animals can teach humans is to love without boundaries. Show this story to your friends and let them learn this important lesson.
