These pictures of two dogs helping each other through a horrible time is so adorable, we might genuinely implode from emotion.
It's a combination of that and the Sunday fear, obviously.
Sammie and Simon the dogs are basically mates who have been through a lot at the hands of some nasty pieces of work with no respect for animals, or likely much else. Sammie was sprayed with paint and shot by his owners, before being rescued from a 'kill shelter' by the amazing folks at Paws and Claws Animal Clinic in South Carolina.
The below picture of Simon offering Sammie a paw of support has gone viral for obvious reasons.
The good news is Sammie is fully in recovery and has plenty of offers for a forever home - as does Simon.
It's worth bearing in mind that there are thousands of animals like Sammy and Simon available for adoption in Irish organisations like Ash Animal Rescue and plenty of others. These guys do amazing work simply because they love the animals. Please think of them if you're looking for a family pet.
