An Imgur user that goes by the name squishiepeachies once had a bunch of furry friends.

Sadly, given the life expectancy of home pets lick dogs and cats, they didn’t live long enough with him.

Just a few months apart, squishiepeachies lost all his beloved pets, the furry companions that he once had beside him at all times.

Fortunately, he still had one doggo left. A Golden Retriever named Crosby.

The pain of losing a loved one exempts no one, not even animals

Squishiepeachies sure grieved about his losses, and although the pain was almost unbearable, he managed to move on with Crosby on his side.

At first, he seriously thought that his pooch was okay with being the only dog at home. After all, he’d have all of his dad’s time and attention, all the treats and bed would be his – there’d be no more sharing.

“This is Crosby. He is the best good boy,” squishiepeachies wrote on Imgur. “About 6-months-ago, he lost his kitty friend, and just over a month ago he lost his best doggo friend that he’s had as a companion since he was 8-weeks-old. Crosby has been pretty okay about being an only doggo, or so I thought.”

However, squishiepeachies was proven wrong by his own dog.

A lonely dog in search of a new friend

As it turned out, Crosby didn’t want to be squishiepeachies’s only furry friend. So, he decided to take his own adventure outside to find a new furry friend.

Squishiepeachies only discovered what Crosby did when he arrived home one day.

“On Thursday I came home, and instead of our normal routine of Crosby howling with excitement to see me, he led me straight to the bathtub,” squishiepeachies wrote in his imgur account explaining what happened that day.

He turned a little skeptical because his dog was acting mysterious and it was pretty obvious that his furry pal was up to something.

Crosby then tried to lead his suspecting owner straight to the bathtub where his ‘new friend’ was waiting to meet him.

Inside the bathtub was a cat

Squishiepeachies tried to figure out how the cat ended up there and there was nobody else in his mind but Crosby. It appeared as if his dog brought the cat by himself by either luring or fetching it.

“I’ve never seen this kitten before, and although I do have a doggy door, it’s way too high off the ground for this little baby to have snuck in,” squishiepeachies wrote. “Seems to me that Crosby must have brought her inside.”

As a responsible pet owner himself, squishiepeachies took the cat to a clinic to see if it was microchipped but it wasn’t.

However, they found out that the cat was spayed just a few days ago and was approximately 4 months old.

“The vet basically told me that if I took her to the shelter she’d be put down because there are already over 300 kittens at the county shelter alone that need homes. He said I could try putting her outside and hope she goes home, or I could keep her.”

A decision to make

Squishiepeachies then made a decision to welcome the cat as the newest member of their family. And since it was Crosby who found the cat, then might as well keep the feline so he wouldn’t feel so lonely anymore.

They ended up naming their new cat, Raina Lil Ray-Ray, a name suggested by Squishpeachies’s high school students.

He ended his story by writing, “I guess Crosby didn’t like being an only doggo after all.”

Everybody was definitely happy with how this beautiful story ended, especially Crosby who finally found a ‘new friend’.
