Living across the road from your best friend is every kid’s (and adult’s) dream, right?

Imagine, though, if you couldn’t leave the front yard.

Why Britain's countryside is still unwelcoming for people of colour

That’s the predicament two Thailand-based four-legged besties found themselves in recently, as a yellow Labrador named Messy and a husky named Audi struck up a heartwarming friendship.

Audi’s owner is often away with work, leaving Audi distressed and anxious. Messy’s the one who’s there to keep him calm, though.


‘When he feels lonely and cries, I always ask my dog to see and talk to him,’ Messy’s owner Oranit Kittragul told The Dodo. ‘My dog just looks from my fence and sometime he barks to [Audi]. I don’t know what they are communicating, but he stops crying.’

Despite becoming fast friends and looking out for each other, though, the pair are too-often separated by the street they live on, locked in separate yards.



Recently, though, that all changed.

With Audi’s owner apparently accidentally leaving the garden gate ajar one day, the black-white-and-grey softy seized the opportunity to come and hang out with his best pal.

‘He ran to my dog and they hugged each other,’ Oranit explains, sharing a picture of the most adorable embrace this side of London’s soon-to-open micropig cuddle centre.

Hopefully this won’t be the last time they get to hang out IRL – these two are a match made in doggy heaven.
