Senior Boxer And His Guinea Pig Sidekick Are The Batman & Robin Of The Animal World

ADVERTISEMENT

Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Batman and Robin. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. All of them make awesome duos, but none of them come close to being nearly as cute as Rex the Boxer and Smores the Guinea Pig, the dynamic if not unlikely duo that’s taking the internet by storm.

The pair were united by Holly Walthers, founder of Leo Puppy Mill Survivor based on the West Coast of the US. Walthers devotes her life to saving desperate dogs and Rex was one of these lucky pups. She rescued him from a kill shelter in California, and even though the old dog is dependent on a wheelchair due to degenerative myelopathy, it hasn’t stopped him from living life to the full! Still, something was missing in Rex’s life, and that something was…a Guinea Pig! But since Smores arrived, Rex has been happier than ever. His wheelchair has even been modified to accommodate his furry sidekick! Whether eating, sleeping or generally just chilling, the pair do everything together. That’s just how they roll! See for yourself in the pictures below.

This is so beautiful! Holly, you are an angel. You gave Rex love and purpose. I don't know you but I love you.
