Sleepy foxes

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.

“Oh, that’s a cute one, evolution! What is that?”

“It’s a hyrax! It pees in holes.”

“Huh.”

“Guess what it’s most closely related to.”

“I don’t know, what?”

“No, guess.”

“I mean… rodents, right? It’s a rodent?”

“Nope. Teeth are different.”

“Oh. Um, is it some kind of tiny fat dog?“

“What? No.”

“Oh! Is it like that weird miniature deer you did?”

“Ha, no. That was a good one, though.”

“Okay, fine. I give up. What is the hyrax most closely related to?”

“Elephants and manatees.”

“Really?”

“Yep.”

“Nothing in between?”

“Not really, no.”

“I just… how? Why?”

“Dunno. I like messing with you, mostly.”

here’s a general gist of the translation:

Rudolph had a shiny nose no one liked him he cried every night then one Christmas it was dark Santa decided Rudolph’s nose was convenient (literally it says convenient) Rudolph was useful.
