Say what you want about cats and dogs being mortal enemies, but there is just too much adorable proof online that begs to differ. Take, for example, this cat named River. This cat is besties with a senior dog named Oakley. So, once their human started to give Oakley daily massages, River quickly took interested. He was always watch and comfort Oakley, since these massages were for physical therapy reasons, thus, they don't always feel very good. River could detect the discomfort in his old friend and said to the human, "move aside, you're doing it wrong!" 

 

Now, River tends to Oakley (along with their human) and gives him massages while purring and comforting his "mortal enemy" dog best friend. Honestly, it's absolutely adorable and restoring our faith in the world.

  • River is not just a professional biscuit maker and meowsseuse, but it's one scientific theory that cats' purrs actually physically help to rejuvenate muscles. So River is doing more than just comforting his bestie, he is helping to heal him! Somebody hire this cat, he's basically a professional!

  • "I couldn’t believe how sweet this was! River just wanted to help his brother Oakley too."
