Duffy went from missing his sister to having a tiny new shadow who won't leave him alone. After Duffy lost his longtime dog sibling, Brooke noticed he just wasn't himself. Dodo editor Valentina tells the story of how bringing home a tiny Chihuahua named Tink changed everything and how this fearless little puppy quickly became the boss of her much bigger brother.

00:00This story is proof that there's always more to a friendship than meets the eye.
00:05Brooke had just lost her senior dog and her pit bull, Duffy, was completely devastated.
00:12I was a little nervous because he obviously is way bigger than she is.
00:15She decided to see if bringing a new friend for Duffy would help him.
00:20And to her surprise...
00:23She just sparked a light in him that he had kind of lost.
00:28I really should have known from covering stories here at the Dodo that true friends always come in all shapes
00:33and sizes.
00:34Brooke made sure to never leave them alone in those early days.
00:38I mean, Duffy is so big and Tink is so tiny.
00:41It turns out that even for her size, Tink was even more than a handful for her new big brother.
00:48She's very high energy.
00:53If he's kind of like needing a break from her, I have a bench at the end of my bed
00:57that he hides underneath.
00:59She literally is just zooming 80 miles an hour around him.
01:03But outside of that, those two were inseparable.
01:07He was very aware of her size.
01:10He just had this immediate awareness of how little she was and how gentle he needed to be with her.
01:16It seems like ever since Tink broke down those barriers with Duffy,
01:21now Duffy's the one who's breaking down barriers.
01:24Their relationship really helps break some of the stigma surrounding pit bulls
01:29and shows that they can be affectionate, protective, like loving breeds,
01:35regardless of the stereotypes that are put on pit bulls.
01:39And together, both Tink and Duffy have shown all of us that love doesn't have to look a certain way.
01:46So, let's go.
01:46Let's go.
01:48Let's go.
01:49Let's go.
