A little girl and a golden retriever have the sweetest relationship, full of love, care and kindness.
Close, personal friendships are an invaluable commodity. There is no way to place a price tag on the value of a relationship with a good, trustworthy, caring and loving person, or in some cases, an animal. Friends want to see us succeed and be happy. Friends are also there to pick us up when life becomes overwhelming. Those special people do all this simply because they care.
Baby Ally and Whiskey, a golden retriever, have a deep, personal and beautiful friendship. It’s also probably the cutest relationship that you’ve likely ever seen.
A clip posted to YouTube documents the friendship, over the course of several years, between Ally and Whiskey. The video begins with Whiskey helping Ally’s parents attend to her needs. The dog multiple times brings the child’s blanket over to them.
Whiskey, as the video shows, became very protective of baby Ally. He would lay down right beside her, watching over the child. He would curl up right next to her, whether she was on the floor or the couch.
The golden retriever was even concerned about the child’s cleanliness. Whiskey would often lick her feet and toes. He just wanted to ensure Ally’s parents hadn’t missed any places.
The video points out that when Ally grew up, she and Whiskey’s relationship changed. Ally began returning the favor, showing Whiskey some tender love and care.
Ally would hilariously drop food she didn’t like or want onto the floor for Whiskey to gobble up. Whiskey, I’m sure appreciated this move.
Now, Ally helps walk her best pal around the neighborhood and even helps, or at least tries, to fill Whiskey’s food bowl.
Ally’s mother, who narrates the short, 3-minute clip, believes her daughter’s special bond with Whiskey will benefit Ally for the rest of her life.
“I know, with great certainty, Ally will grow up to be a kind, loving, affectionate, helpful, caring person,” she said. “And we owe that to Whiskey.”
These are two best friends for life!
