Just when you think there's no hope left for us all just getting along, up pops a photo (or two) like these.

"Two rescues from the streets of Brooklyn become best friends," explains their owner, Rina Deych (who submitted these photos to our reader photo section, Your Scene). That's Sobe with the scales, Johann with the fur.

See more great photos of interspecies friendship in Your Scene's Four-Legged Friends album. (Or even submit your own.) Many thanks, Rina, for showing that the cold-blooded and warm-blooded can mix.
