It’s an amazing animal friendship that will warm your heart. No matter if you watched it or not – you should. This adorable video has been circling the internet and touching hearts online. The video captures the special bond between a dog and a deer.
In the 39-second-long clip, Kate the dog and Pippin the deer are seen frolicking in the yard together. They interact by nuzzling each other, running around, and even hugging during their time together. Like many other animal friendships, these two don’t seem to care that they are completely different species.
Interspecies Love
When Pippin the deer was just a helpless fawn, Kate the Great Dane adopted her as her own. They have been the best of friends ever since. A true example of interspecies love.
The owner of Kate, Isobel Springett, originally posted the video on YouTube in 2010. It has recently been re-posted to r/aww and has once again gained the love of the internet.
“Kate and Pip playing on the lawn April 1st, 2010. The sun came out after heavy rain and they just couldn’t resist a romp,” reads the description of the video.
Kate, Pip, Internet Favorites
Since initially being shared, people across the globe have fallen in love with the adorable pair. Many of them have left comments to share their appreciation.
“Ohhh the neck hugs/nuzzles!” commented one user. “Prongs and Padfoot!” said another. For the Harry Potter fans out there, that might get an extra giggle.
“That is crazy adorable!” wrote a third. “When’s the Disney movie coming out?” asked another.
The One Thing Pet Owners Regret Not Doing Until It’s Too Late
Is your pet safe?
1 in 3 pets will need emergency veterinary treatment each year and it is estimated a pet receives emergency care every 2.5 seconds in the U.S.
The average cost of treating a broken bone in dogs is $2,700. Cancer treatments? Up to $10,000.
It’s why so many pet owners say their biggest regret isn’t the vet bill—it’s not having pet insurance when they needed it most.
Ask yourself: “If an unexpected $5,000 vet bill hit tomorrow, could I afford it?”
If the answer is no, it’s time to get covered.
Take a look at Lemonade. They have a great app that actually works, they have an instant chatbot that is faster and, dare we say it, friendlier than most companies’ “real” customer service and a quick scroll through Reddit will uncover… people are really vibing with this brand.
So go check them out and take a look. It takes less than a minute.
If one thing is for sure, Kate and Pip will not be the only ones getting enjoyment out of their time together. People love watching the video as much as the pair loves hanging out with each other. Additionally, with online media, it’s easier to learn about unique friendships in the animal kingdom. Recently, a friendship between a cow and a dog was making headlines. On the Netflix show Tiger King, there was a friendship between a delightful Dachshund and a lion. Watch the video below!
80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
It’s the PawRamp by Alpha Paw. An adjustable ramp that allows dogs to safely get on and off couches and beds. PawRamp makes joining you in bed or on the couch effortless and fun.
