My wife and I adopted a small pup to befriend our two-year-old rescue cat. Selina was a large cat, while Logan was a scrawny little pup. Selina became somewhat unpredictable. One moment she would snuggle up with Logan, and the next she might chase him away.
About a month after we adopted Logan, Selina ran away. After a few days without her, we noticed that Logan had stopped eating and drinking. We knew that he needed a companion, so we took him to the shelter to pick out a new friend. When Logan met Loki, they instantly got along, so we adopted Loki and took the two of them home.
These two were inseparable brothers. They slept together. They ate together. They even wrestled with each other. If Logan managed to cause Loki to yell when they wrestled, he’d stop and inspect Loki to make sure he was okay. Loki eventually learned how to topple Logan (who was easily twice his size) and beat him in their play-fights.
One day, we got word that Selina had been found. We were happy to bring her home, but a couple of months alone had turned her feral. As soon as she had the chance, she cornered Logan and started to beat him up. We heard it from another room, and rushed to find out what was going on.
Suddenly, Loki (who was easily a third Selina’s size) charged into the room and toppled her over. He got between Selina and Logan and herded Selina back into the cage. We closed the cage and realized that we had no choice but to give her up.
Ever since then, Logan and Loki have watched out for each other. They work together, they play together, and they won’t let anyone mess with the other.
