This Sausage Dog And Seal Are BFFs After Meeting On Vacation

There’s nothing I love more than feel-good stories of animal BFFs. Even better is if the animals are totally different species but still manage to find common ground, like this adorable little dachshund and his new BFF Aayla the rescue seal, who recently met at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. SO CUTE!

  1. Stanley’s owner, Melanie Talbot, was on vacation and brought her pup with her. While there, she decided to take Stanley for a visit to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and that’s where a lifelong bond took shape between the two-year-old sausage dog and the seal. It was serendipity!
  2. It was love at first sight. According to Unilad, Aayla swam straight over to Stanley the minute she saw him and the two animals spent 20 minutes posing for photos together because of course they did. They’re both absolutely adorable, so why wouldn’t they want to capture that on film?
  3. Maybe Aayla thought Stanley was another seal? Talbot thinks that may have been the case given that Stanley was all wrapped up in a little fleece jacket and snood, but people in the comments section of the post on the Cornish Seal Sanctuary’s Facebook page insist that Aayla has always loved getting up close and personal with furry friends of all varieties, so chances are she just took a shining to Stanley as-is.
  4. If you needed a smile, this is guaranteed to give it to you. As the sanctuary’s Facebook post read, ” We’ve decided as we get so many incredible dogs visiting us, we wanted to share our favourite each week (trust us, it is hard to pick!) This weeks winner is Stanley, who shared a magical moment with Aayla.” A magical moment indeed! Sometimes life is so stressful and hectic and full of sadness but little moments like that make it so much better and more bearable.
