In a heartwarming video, the two dogs quickly became best friends, despite Milkshake’s three years in shelters and Poundcake being raised as an only dog. They have been inseparable since, playing, snuggling, and walking together. Coburn believes that bringing another dog home can provide companionship and happiness for both the pets and their owners.
