Meet Keelo and Koda, the Cat and Golden Retriever BFFs

Imagine you’re a golden retriever named Keelo. You’re, naturally, pretty spectacular because you’re a golden retriever and you rule. Life is pretty sweet. Then, your pet parents rescue a ball of fluff from some bushes and bring it home. Not only that, they name it Koda and expect you to be friends with it.

Seriously, things were  great, why in the world would your pet parents try and fix something that wasn’t even broken? So what that Koda is  cute and, yeah, he’s fun to hang around with. It’s also sorta awesome that your humans took in a cat that needed help, rescuing the little guy from the many harsh things that can befall a homeless animal. Okay, okay so it’s kinda cool to have a new roomie, even if it is a cat.

Who are we kidding, it’s so much more than cool! Keelo and Koda are attached at the hip, cuddling together in a cute pile that is unparalleled. Anyone who thinks cats and dogs don’t get along need look no further than their Instagram page where picture after picture of the pair enjoying each other’s company provide a daily dose of adorable. Duos like these remind us that best friends come in all shapes and sizes and that the reward for rescuing an animal in need goes so much deeper than just bringing home a new pet.

You have dog food breath.

Sorry about the “dog food breath” crack, here’s a smooch.

Look, do what you gotta do, I’m just saying you’re about to get busted. That’s all.

I’m just gonna hang out here in case he has that weird, leg-kicking dream again.

Psst … if you distract the human, I might be able to get at those treats on the high shelf.

Sure, the grass is comfy but you know what else is comfy? Dog leg.

Is it food time? Cuz, we were talking and we kinda feel as though it could be food time.

He’s trying to show me how tall he can be. C’mon, tell him he’s tall, make him feel good about himself.

Shhh … don’t disturb him. He’s my pillow.

This is what love looks like.
