An unusual pair with big differences in size and character, which are no obstacle.

Mastiff named Shelby and Chihuahua Bianca have been together almost since the smaller one was born. Their common photos perfectly illustrate the meaning of "friends".

As reported: Popularni.live

Chihuahua Bianca and mastiff Shelby are best friends despite the differences in size.

The pair met at animal rescuer Shirley Zindler's Animalwood Rescue in Sebastopol, California.

Shirley lives at home with 12 dogs - her own and those who live with her temporarily.

The pair has been together since their first meeting.

Bianca arrived at Shirley's home in early November - her mother died during childbirth, and the puppy's owners turned to Shirley for help.

When she began feeding Bianca from a bottle, three-year-old Shelby sat next to them and watched. Over time, a real friendship developed between the dogs:

As Bianca grew up, she became interested in Shelby and it was so cute.

Shelby even somewhat replaced the Chihuahua's mom:

It's important for puppies to grow up with their mother and be in the presence of other dogs. Bianca doesn't have a mother, but I think Shelby has successfully replaced her.

Character and size differences don't matter.

Bianca weighs only 1 kilogram and her blind friend Shelby weighs up to 53 kilograms, their figures also differ greatly.

As their owner said on the DailyMail website, the mastiff is calm, kind, and very playful, while the Chihuahua is like a small lightning bolt!

These two complement each other perfectly!

They have a special friendship, and it's unusual to see two dogs of completely different sizes playing together.

Unfortunately, the pair will have to say goodbye - a new home has already been found for little Bianca. But at least she spent her first days with her best friend!
