What can be more amazing than having a best friend? Getting a chance to grow up with him! While some of us are still looking for the one true friend, these animals already found each other and are happy to share their lives together. In this list collected by Bored Panda you'll find even the most unlikely of friendships, such as best buddies Riff the pet rat and his dog guardian Osiris.

If you were thinking of getting your pet a buddy we hope that this list convinced you. If you have pictures of your two pets growing up together, don't hesitate to add them to the list!

I love how the rat looks like he's trying to be as a big as his friend got. Cute!

Not only are the chocolate's eyes a different color before and after but the black had different white markings. Not the same before and after dogs! :(

Dogs and cats (and probably others as well) are all born with blue eyes. They change fairly quickly.

I love the fact these two grew and stayed together, unlike most puppies.

It is common, most puppies are born with blue eyes and they change as they get older.

Different dog - white pattern is different and whilst it might change shape as the dog grows it wouldn't 'fill in' as due to pigmentation (or lack of it)

No, these are the same dogs, just from a slightly different angle.

The bottom dog is brown in one picture and black in the next. The top picture the brown dog has white on her chest and paws, the black dog has white on her chest, paws, neck and face. The brown dog has a brown nose, the black dog has a black nose.

Different camera say a crappy old flip phone vs an iPhone, and the front leg is curled blocking the white on his neck. And eyes don't always stay blue if there blue as babies. I believe that the dogs are the same

I'm so sorry. RIP beautiful Aiko. They are our babies, and a huge part of our families. It's a very hard thing to have to go through.

The dog with light patches on the top right doesn't look like the same pattern as the dog on the bottom left. I'm confused.
