130 lb mastiff befriens 1lb chihuahua at shelter



The odd couple! Chihuahua puppy weighing less than 1lb becomes best friends with 130lb mastiff after meeting at rescue centre
Five-week-old Digby was found near death outside flats in north London
He was taken to RSCPA kennels - where he befriended nine-stone Nero
The huge Neapolitan Mastiff eats the weight of four Digbys every day

-------

One's smaller than a bag of sugar and the other's as heavy as a full-grown woman - but that hasn't stopped these two pets becoming best friends.
Digby the tiny chihuahua, who weighs less than 1lb, was close to death when he was rescued from between two rubbish bins outside a block of flats in north London.
But since being taken to an RSPCA centre he has a new reason to survive - in the form of nine-stone Neapolitan Mastiff Nero.

nasty little chihuahua. He totally owns them!!!

They're quite agreeable with my Jack X as well. They're just kind of big dumb dog lumps that wander around and tell us when the gate's opening. I feel really bad for them, they're about 3 years old and can barely walk with arthritis. I don't think they'll last much longer, poor things.
