Shelter Dog Stays Glued To His Bigger Doggo Friend To Make Sure Someone Adopts Them Together
Meet Bonnie and Clyde, the inseparable rescue doggies who, above everything else, just want to be together. The canines are so close, that Clyde, the smaller dog, can usually be found sitting on Bonnie – and the larger pooch doesn’t seem to mind.
The adorable duo was found wandering the streets of Arizona as strays and taken to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC). There, the staffers immediately recognized the two were buddies, but were still surprised to see Clyde atop Bonnie.
“Initially we thought it was a fluke, but it started happening a lot,” MCACC’s public information officer, Jose Santiago, told The Dodo. “Now it is unusual to not see them that way. They are as bonded as you can imagine.”
The two even sleep together, with Clyde being the small spoon, and Bonnie the big one. “It speaks volumes about the trust and bond they have,” Santiago said. “It’s comforting to know that they are bonded so strongly to alleviate any stress, but it also stresses the importance of them going home together.”
We hope these two doggies will not only enjoy a long and lasting friendship, but that soon they will find a loving forever home.

I just called I'm going to take my little dogs to meet them and if they are ok together they will be coming home with me
No question Clyde is the pack leader and Bonnie is just following along and accommodating the leader. But it is a hoot seeing this in operation. Whoever adopts the two is going to have to establish dominance over Clyde, or Clyde will own control. :D
I will hopefully be bringing them home if they get a long with my dogs I'm taking them to meet

A lot of people think they might adopt a dog but couldn't imagine two - too much work - and it is actually less - two bonded dogs give each other comfort, fun, stimulation and exercise - it takes less work and guilt coz your dogs will be entertaining each other and playing and feeling more in their doggy element. They will be happy! Isn't that the idea of adopting? Its about the animals and not about ourselves. I could not bear to think these two would be split up. Animals bond - don't be jealous if their bond might include another dog - you can still be a caring Alpha.
At the shelter in my town they have animals that specifically say "must be adopted together" I think it's amazing the bond some animals form
This is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. It's really sad to see the way shelter animals live, in tiny confined spaces that are probably scary and loud. I'm so glad these two dogs have each other, but they need a special human to take them both in. Someone commented that they've been adopted and i really hope it's true. I wish I could take in all the homeless animals ever
Naww how sweet. I'm glad it looks like the shelter wont split them up.
