This Dog Finds Best Friends In 8 Birds And A Hamster

If you've ever witnessed highly unlikely — yet inexplicably and amusingly sweet — animal pairings out there on the web, then you're definitely no stranger to the miraculous friendships that are made in this world.

Some of these peculiar bonds are forged between house pets, some between animals who have connected without human encouragement, and others who are always looking to expand their membership circle.

Unlikely connections between animals come in various forms. For example, we've seen how mothers instinctually comfort and take over the raising of orphaned pets or wild babies.

Often, it is humans who make the initial introduction between their pets by encouraging them to live harmoniously and playfully under one roof.

One such human has seemingly taken the unlikely friendships in his household to new heights. He has created a tiny, perfect community of friends right at home. Take a look through the amazing photos below — and let us know what you think about these sweet, unlikely friendships!

Meet Bob the golden retriever. He hails from São Paulo, Brazil, and he's gaining a lot of recognition because of who his best friends are.

He goes on outings to the park (along with his birdie companions), and on the back of bike rides through the city.

He also travels the world over with his human. He makes sure to partake in shopping sprees, and always wants to check out incredible street art and famous monuments.
