After losing her own litter of puppies, Molly the beagle spent days in utter grief. Like any mother who loses her young, she was devastated.
Things brightened for Molly when she crossed paths with an abandoned baby possum. Molly’s parents, Elle and Sara Moyle, aren’t sure how the two met, but when Molly carried Poss home on her back, they allowed the friendship to blossom.
The two have been inseparable ever since, and Molly’s taken on a maternal role with Poss.
Of the positive impact the relationship has had on Molly, Sara Moyle states: “It’s certainly uplifted her mood, they both needed each other, I think, so it’s been a fantastic relationship.”
What’s New…
ANIMALS ARE AWESOME. THEY HAVE HUGE LOVING HEARTS.
I am glad the two met and are so happy! ( I am sure some people know this already, but possums live Down Under, and Opossums live in North America 🙂 )
Beautiful story of beagle and baby opassum. Nice to see the beauty in animals. Maybe humans will catch on but somehow I doubt that. Sadly
Yes; a beautiful relationship.
Thank you for sharing this story about Molly and Poss.
Such a sweet story. Love to see the good that happens in our world. I’m still smiling ……………..
BEST WISHES TO MOLLY AND POSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a sweet relationship! Thank you for sharing this sweet video. Everybody wins. I know nothing about Australian possums, but they are much cuter than the ones in the States. 😉
animals have it all over humans…we can take a lesson from the goodness and honesty they exude…we are the inferior species
Its a sweet reminder how animals love and know infants need love and protection
Poor baby!! Of course she’s devastated, animals have feelings just like we do – I couldn’t even begin to imagine the excruciating pain she feels…
What a beautiful story. 🐿 🐶🐕🐾❤❤❤
