If you ever thought that dogs and cats don't get along so well, think again, because we are about to tell you a story about the world's cutest couple. Meet Henry and Baloo, two best friends whose bond has become an Instagram sensation. But let's start from the beginning, shall we?
First, they adopted Henry
It all started when Cynthia Bennett and her boyfriend decided that they could use some company during their weekend hikes. After all, it was because of this hobby that they decided to move to Colorado in the first place.
Their first stop? A puppy adoption event where they were hoping to find a perfect companion for their adventures.
It was not an easy task since all the puppies at the event were so adorable. But the choice soon became obvious when they noticed the long-legged puppy who was five times bigger than the rest even though they were all fourteen weeks old. Then, the dog approached Cynthia and curled into her lap. But when he went belly up and flipped his head over her arm, the couple knew this was the dog they were looking for. They named him Henry.
It wasn't long before they took their new friend on a hike to Garden of the Gods, in Colorado Springs, and Henry loved it every step of the way. There, he climbed the highest rock to look around over its edge. It was because of that that the couple nicknamed him a little mountain goat.
Then, Baloo came
The trio was having such an awesome time together, and then they decided to bring a cat into the family. After five months of extensive searching, Cynthia finally found a Siamese kitten mix named Baloo at a local shelter. And just like the first time, she instantly connected with her new hiking companion. But the real connection happened when Baloo met Henry.
As soon as they first saw each other, they wanted to play together. And when a little mountain goat is out for a hike, Baloo doesn't want to stay behind. What is most impressive is that Baloo sees Henry as his mom and is constantly looking for a teet.
Now, with all this being said, it comes as no surprise that Henry and Baloo are able to produce some adorable Instagram magic.
So let's take a look at some of their best pictures together. We are sure that you will enjoy in each and every one of them.
