Because He Does Not Want To Abandon His Friend, The Dog Refuses To Be Adopted
In both good and terrible times, friends must stand by one other. Thus, given life’s challenges, it is easy to determine who is a real friend. True friendships are common in the animal world, since dogs are known for being extremely devoted to their companions.
Merrill and Taco’s friendship story shows this fact. Despite their significant differences, these two canines shared a facility called the Rocket Dog Rescue Center and were best friends.
Employees at the kennel said that the animals quickly became friends and demonstrated their affinity after only a few days. The dogs kept each other company despite their large size differences: Taco is a chihuahua mix and Merril is a pitbull mix.
The two animals’ relationship was so strong that they kept each other company at all times and even shared their meals. As a result, they became inseparable over time.
True friendship, on the other hand, is only observed in the most trying of times, as we discussed before. On one particular day, the kennel’s employees saw that Taco was unhappy and sad. However, after doing all of the tests, they found that the dog was healthy.
The staff soon concluded that Merril, not Taco, was the source of the health problem. And, following a battery of testing, doctors determined that the pitbull was suffering from a disease that necessitated immediate surgery.
Dogs and their owners were inseparable.
Merril’s hospitalization was a disaster for the two dogs, as it was nearly hard to keep them away from the pitbull’s medical treatment. They would start crying hysterically whenever they had to be separated.
Because it was impossible to keep them apart, the kennel personnel opted to keep them together, even in the minutes leading up to Merril’s medical treatment. The dogs received good news shortly after their initial treatment: the operation had gone well, and they would soon be able to return to the kennel together.
However, as happy as this moment was, the troubles did not end there. On a beautiful day, a guy came to the kennel with the intention of adopting a puppy. He fell in love with Merrill as soon as he came at Rocket Dog Rescue Center.
Animal love is more powerful than anything else!
Merril didn’t want to leave the kennel when the workmen opened the gate for him to be adopted, or rather, he didn’t want to be far from Taco. Merrill clawed at the ground in an attempt to avoid being carried away by his new owner. In fact, the dog clung to Taco as though he didn’t want to be parted from his best buddy.

When the guy learned that the two dogs would not be separated and that they were such good friends, he decided to adopt them both; after all, it would be cruel to separate them.
So Taco and Merrill’s animal love tale had a happy ending: the two dogs left the kennel together and were adopted by the same guy, who promised to keep them together forever.
