River, a sweet Dalmatian, meets his new best friend in Summit, a teeny foster kitten under the care of his human. Far from being overwhelmed by River&#8217;s enormous size, Summit also found a new buddy to hang out with in this new adventure. While many pets struggle to adjust to other animals in a foster home situation, these two were clearly destined to be best friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Their bond was so strong that River&#8217;s human had no choice but to let him keep his foster kitty friend forever. Another example of a foster fail, this one is full of a friendship and bond that only grows each day, and the internet simply cannot with all of this adorableness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/dog-face\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc36;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc36&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc36<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/parade-pets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP to get &quot;pawsitivity&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;SIGN UP to get \\&quot;pawsitivity\\&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp;amp&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong>SIGN UP to get &#8220;pawsitivity&#8221; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/paw-prints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Viewers React to River and Summit&#8217;s Beautiful Friendship<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"they\u2019re the sweetest adventure buddies &amp; best friends now!

In a video shared by their human, River and Summit can be seen cuddling together, sleeping and exploring through the mountains as one family. Despite the obvious difference in size, this cat and dog are just two peas in a pod.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: This Mom Is Obsessed With Her Black Cat, but the Feeling Is Not Mutual<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the caption, River and Summit&#8217;s human shares, &#8220;Summit was my tiny little foster kitten who fell in love with my Dalmatian, River, and I just couldn&#8217;t separate them, so I adopted him (or foster failed), and now they go everywhere together &#8211; hiking, camping, paddle boarding, you name it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A friendship worthy of being an animated movie, it&#8217;s hard to imagine what would&#8217;ve happened had they&#8217;d been separated.

Another viewer chimed in with \u201cI love that you take both of them on adventures, most people would leave the cat home. You guys are great pet parents.&#8221; Truly a unit now, this entire family goes on hiking adventures together with both the cat and the dog.
