Raven, the dog, was in no hurry to pick out her new best friend at the animal shelter. After all, this was going to be a lifetime commitment. Raven was still a puppy, and last August, she was choosing a kitten at the animal shelter in Lubbock, Texas — one she could grow old with. So one by one, four kittens were brought before the pup. Some didn’t show much interest, and others were just not into Raven’s gentle nuzzling. But there was one kitten — a formidable feline named Woodhouse. And Woodhouse would become the one, Raven’s new best friend for life.
“I had always wanted a dog and a cat to grow up together. It’s been like a life goal,” her owner Christina, who didn’t want her last name published, tells The Dodo.
And, in this case, it could not have worked out much better.
Raven is a Tamaskan husky, who arrived at Christina’s home a puppy last July.
About a month later, Christina went looking to adopt a kitten to be Raven’s new best friend.
But you don’t just want to choose someone’s best friend for them. After all, this is a very personal decision.
“I wanted them to be able to get along well,” Christina explains. “So I wanted her to actually meet the cat and have the cat get along with the dog as well.”
Today, Raven and Woodhouse are inseparable.
“Woodhouse actually chases the dog around the house,” she adds. “And they like to play tag.”
They even celebrate birthdays together.
They travel together.
And at the end of the day, they like to chill together because some things never change.
