Bubba The Adorable Rescue Pit Bull Cares For And Loves His Tiny BFF, A Kitten Called Rue

You don't really expect dogs and cats to be friends, but sometimes rules are there to be broken. And so it goes with 6-year-old rescue pit bull Bubba, who's taken a liking to felines ever since his owner Rebecca Pizzello brought him home from a shelter in Phoenix, Arizona and he took to her roommate's kittens.

That was many years ago and now, after all that time, Bubba has a kitten buddy all his own. Pizzello adopted a rescue kitten, Rue, after she moved to New York City from L.A. recently—and the minute she brought her home Bubba was hooked.

"Rue stood out like no other and I took her home as fast as I could," Pizzello told The Dodo. "The fact that Bubba and Rue have identical coloring still blows my mind … I knew Bubba would be filled with joy the second we walked in the door and boy was I right."

The pair now sleep snuggled up together and Bubba looks out for his new little sister, even if she is a different species. He even bathes her and the pair are never apart.

They even have their own Instagram account where you can coo over pictures of them looking adorable together.
