You deserve a special treat for making it to the weekend, animal fam. A gift that only we can give you - the gift of something so wholesome and sweet you won't be able to stop yourself from crying. Tears of happiness and joy, but still, there will be tears (at least, there were on our side). When animals form friendships, it's something we can't ignore - especially when the animals are from different species. This unlikely friendship happens to be between a cheerful chihuahua and his perfectly tardy tortoise friend.

The chihuahua comes and visits him every day, bringing him a new toy for them to "play" with together. Even though we can't see it, we're sure it brings this rigid reptile some joy to his cold-blooded heart. From chew toys, to sticks, to random items he finds on the ground, the doggo "Skippy" loves to share his precious items with his friend as they hang out together. It's really one of the cutest things we've seen all week. Watch the whole video below!

  • One of the most wholesome things about this video is how howlariously Skippy's tail wags when seeing his friend. It doesn't even wag, it shakes - he literally shakes his whole behind with joy and excitement. It's perfectly pawdorable! Our doggo does this too, but only when she's really excited.

    "I haz another stick!"
    via tillygthetortoise

  • This is a true example of when an extrovert befriends an introvert and forces them to do introvert things. The tortoise just goes along with it because, well, it would be too much energy not to. But they always like it, deep down. Everyone likes to be pushed out of their comfort zones a little bit, especially with a healthy dose of pawsitivity as the main motivator!

    jessnoble5 My dog does this excited wiggle and taps the head ONLY if he is really really obsessed with the other dog or animal. It's very very rare and my absolute favourite thing to see.

    theerickylee This is incredibly risky... if a turtle and dog become best friends they could start a podcast and become the ONE THING that actually does make America great again. ❤
