Inquisitive Beagle puppy sidles up next to cat to pass time watching the birds
Cats and dogs have always been portrayed as enemies but that isn’t exactly true.
Yes, there are cats and dogs who don’t get along very well and that’s because they have different personalities and communication styles.
But cats and dogs can have a great relationship with each other.
And when they grow up and live with each other, they can even be best friends.
These two make the cutest besties.

Dog whisperer Cesar Millan attests to this.
“When I was a kid my family had two cats and a dog. And while the two cats didnβt always get along, my dog was best friends with both β especially the outdoor cat since she spent the most time with him. The pair napped together, chased butterflies together, and during barbecue season, theyβd hustle us for handouts together,” Cesar Millan wrote on his website.

Here is the sweetest “proof”.
Then this video that their human, Lisa Olsen-Plummer, took could be the proof you need to believe that dogs and cats can become best friends.
Lisa was already mom to several cats, including Jasper the black cat, when Bo came into their lives.
Bo is a beagle she rescued in 2019 and she was worried about introducing him to the cats.
Jasper was wary of Bo, initially.
βJasper was very cautious of Bo at first. He stayed back and watched from a distance until one day, he went up to Bo and put his arm around him,” Lisa told The Dodo. βIt was almost like he was telling him, βItβs OK! Letβs play,β I think thatβs where Bo learned the hug from.β
That moment solidified their relationship.
That’s when they became brothers.
And just like any set of brothers, they get along but they also get into rough fights as well.
But one thing is for sure, they look out for each other and they love spending time together.
When they’re not fighting or playing, they both like to sit together and watch birds. Sometimes, they will sit on the bed and look outside the window for birds.
And there are times when they will sit on the couch and look outside the window from there.

Lisa caught this sweet moment on video.
Jasper was already on the couch, gazing outside, watching out for the birds.
Bo was on his side immediately with his front leg draped around Jasper’s neck and Jasper’s wagging from left to right.
The video is only 18 seconds long so we’re not sure how long the two of them stayed in this position.
But even if it was for 1 second or 1 minute or 1 hour, it is still so sweet to witness this touching moment.
Viewers were in love.
“Awwww! Now that is adorable! Itβs nice seeing a dog being a nice friend to a cat for a change,” GLING said.
“Interspecies love makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside,” MoonstonePearl21 added.
“I love this video. We need more peaceful moments like this. I got a black cat, now I want a puppy,” Glenda Williams shared.
