Everyone who has ever had a dog knows how important is for a young pup to have friends. This way, young dogs learn a lot of things from other dogs, they learn how to behave and they also burn off that energy. And while this puppy had a few doggie friends to play with around the house and in the backyard, he really bonded with a particularly odd friend.
His name is Sunny, and he’s best friends with a BRICK. Yes, a real brick! Don’t believe us? Check out the following photos and you’ll surely have a blast! We know Sunny does!
