This week’s Pets of the Week are Toby and Tilly, two rescued 5-year-old dogs who are inseparable.

In the hilarious video, Toby and Tilly are tied on a double leash. During one of her routine walks, Tilly stopped for her favorite ritual: spontaneous rolling on the grass. Ignoring her pause, Toby, the patient ‘big brother’, waited for her to finish. But this time something scared him – the distant crowing of a rooster. Deciding to get to the car, Toby carefully pulled Tilly along with him, continuing to roll around playfully.

“He’s the most patient big brother,” said owner Jennifer Wallace. Newsweek. “Many viewers thought it was funny. And although he was determined to get to the car, Tilly just kept rolling until he eventually had to drag her a little.”

In the video, Wallace said Toby “can’t take her anywhere.” Instagrampeople couldn’t get enough.

“This is just one of the many things I love about my dogs. They are always so happy and often cheerful and make me—and others—smile and laugh every day,” Wallace added.

Diane Fowler

Last but not least this week is Charlie, a ginger and white cat who was adopted a year ago by owner Diane Fowler.

“Unfortunately, his owner passed away and he ended up in a shelter. He had been put up for adoption since he was 10 years old and had one eye that wasn’t working too well,” Fowler said. Newsweek.

However, Charlie has now settled in well and loves being the center of attention. “He has settled in perfectly and is a sweet, silly boy who enjoys sitting in the middle of our morning paper. We love him very much,” Fowler said.
