This Golden Retrievers best friend, a ginger cat, had to be put down because of thyroid cancer at the age of 15. The dog, named Forsberg, was crushed.

The 10 year-old dog was looking for his buddy everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. After 8 and a half years, he had really gotten used to having the cat around. His owner Jen Philion decided to get him a new kitty that could help him heal.

“Forsberg really missed having a cat,” Philion wrote. “Problem solved!” he added as he posted the photo of the new feline.

Despite his heartbreak, Forsberg embraced the new kitty friend with all of his paws and has never let go ever since. One year has passed and Forsberg & Maxwell are now inseparable.
