Two sweet puppies show the world that not just children from the same neighborhood can form special bonds, but dogs as well. In a ʜᴇᴀʀᴛᴡᴀʀᴍɪɴɢ ᴠɪʀᴀʟ photo, the two were caught on camera affectionately greeting each other, just like they haven’t seen each other in years. But as it turns out, the two very best friends meet pretty often – weekly at least – and they always have the same reaction of joy!
The lovely moment, initially went viral on Twitter, after WeRateDogs shared it as a joke. “Hugging for the first time in over a year,” they wrote. Yet, the things are completely different for these two buddies. Simba – a mini Goldendoodle – and Cooper – a Havanese – actually live in the same neighborhood and go to the park together almost every weekend. Even more, Simba sometimes breaks out from his backyard to visit his dear friend.
The two friends, who both turned one a few months ago, know each other since they were puppies as they live in the same neighborhood in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
“They see each other on weekends or if Simba escapes my yard,They love each other, and my daughter and friend’s daughter are friends too.” Simba’s owner, Roberto Couto.
The moment the two puppies greet each other with an adorable hug, brought them a huge popularity online, encouraging other parents to share photos of their furry children showing affection to each other. Here are some of them:

The presence of BFFs, or preferred associates, can reduce stress and can provide some degree of comfort and safety to an animal living in a group. Animals with preferred associates tend to exhibit less aggressive behavior towards their companion. They do tend to be more tolerant of their companion’s presence compared to other animals in the group or unfamiliar animals.
Some dogs have a preferred play style, and no matter where they are—at a dog park, daycare or your friend’s house—they gravitate more towards other dogs that play sɪᴍɪʟᴀʀʟʏ.
Dogs with dog best friends prefer to stay in closer proximity with the other animal. They ignore the other dogs and tend to play more or spend more time in ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴀʟ with their dog best friend. They may be more willing to share their toys, bed, water bowl and ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴀʟ space. Sometimes they may be willing to share their favorite dog treats or dog food, but that is not always the case. Some dogs can have BFFs, but can still be reluctant to share a highly valued resource such as their favorite dog toys, treat, bed or owner.
