Animals experience emotions just like humans. They crave companionship, affection, and the bonds of friendship and family. Being abandoned is devastating — some pets are taken to shelters, while others end up living on the streets, facing fear and uncertainty.
That’s why it’s especially heartwarming to see two dogs, Cici and Chewbacca, who formed an unbreakable bond despite being left behind when their owners had a baby.

The two friends eventually ended up in a shelter. It’s hard to imagine the despair a dog feels when their family abandons them, but Cici and Chewbacca had each other. No matter the challenges, they found comfort and strength in one another.
Whenever staff members approached their cage, the pair could be seen hugging. Their size difference didn’t matter — the love and friendship they shared were undeniable. Together, they helped each other face the fear and loneliness that comes with abandonment.
The shelter staff recognized their bond and made a special decision: Cici and Chewbacca would only be adopted together. They would never be separated.
