A family that rescues animals in need has been watching an unlikely friendship unfold. They recently rescued a warthog that was severely dehydrated and not feeling well. One day they saw the warthog snuggled up to their dog and were quite surprised. Many of the animals they take in are quite young and are looking for a parental figure.

These young animals don’t really know what species they are or that they should only be seeking out companionship from other animals like them. And so they seek that companionship from any other animal that will give them comfort.

Watch the video to see this special friendship and the story behind it.

It’s certainly not something you hear about every day.
