Shelter dog separated from his best friend won’t stop calling for him

He missed his family, and most importantly, his best friend


At Miami Dade animal services, a dog named Schwabo cried for days in his kennel. He missed his family, and most importantly, his ally Rocky.




The lonely howl struck the heartstrings of Jani Bradford, a volunteer at the shelter, as he watched him staring at his friend at the glass partition. 9-year-old Schwab and 11-year-old Rocky had spent their lives together until their owner surrendered them thanks to landlord issues. Without Loki, Schwab seemed lost and refused to eat. “He grew up looking up to Rocky and now, albeit he’s older, Rocky is like his big brother,” Bradford said. “He’s very, very attached to Rocky.”


When Schwab and Rocky first received the shelter, Rocky was placed on the adoption floor while Shwabo, who was limping thanks to arthritis, was sent to the rear for observation. Rocky quickly received an application, but the potential adopter never showed up, then the two dogs were reunited — and Schwab couldn’t are happier.


“Schwab was a special dog from the instant he saw Rocky,” Bradford said. Though the 2 are bonded, they couldn’t be more different. “Rocky’s older But he behaves a bit like a puppy. He loves twiddling with the ball, he can play all day long,” Bradford said. “Schwab acts a touch older … He’s very calm, very low maintenance.”



While Rocky likes to a certain a more active lifestyle, Schwab just wants to hold out and watch his ally play. “Schwab doesn’t do much — he lays in his bed and loves watching Rocky doing all his goofy stuff,” Bradford said. “Schwabo needs Rocky. He just loves being around him, watching him play all day. Rocky makes him happy.”


Thankfully, the 2 dogs will never got to worry about being separated again. Doghouse Rescue Academy found one among Bradford’s Facebook posts about the pair and decided to assist find them a home — together.




And now that they’re out of the shelter, the 2 dogs are all smiles.
