Every pet deserves a loving and respectful home: please only consider acquiring a pet if you will be able to take care of its long-term needs. Also, consider choosing your animal companion from a shelter, where there are so many wonderful furry friends who need a forever home.

In this sweet, ‘odd couples’ video, we meet Roman and Sugar, two unlikely housemates who began a steadfast friendship after ending up in the same human family.

Human mum Jessica and her husband rescued Sugar, a lop-eared rabbit who was no longer wanted as a breeder, and introduced her to their White Swiss Shepherd, Roman.

Thanks to Roman’s patient, accepting nature, the feistier Sugar soon began to trust and bond with him, with the result that the two today are inseparable fur siblings.
