A blind calf has become best friends with a pit bull who was rescued from a fighting ring.

Two-month-old calf Heaven dotes on Sweetpea. They’re always found together, and love to wander the grounds of the Saving Grace Animal Society in Alix, Alberta.

The pair absolutely love each other – and their favourite thing to do is to play the day away.

Erin Deems, the animal rescue’s executive director, told CBC News that the pair took to each other straight away and immediately bonded.

She said: ‘Love knows no species boundaries. When two animals can bond like that, it’s pretty heartwarming.

‘They really love to sunbathe.

‘Sweetpea really enjoys grooming Heaven so she’s always licking her face and cleaning her up as well as she can. They just really enjoy each other’s company.’

Heaven was rescued by the agency after being found at a northern Alberta dairy farm.

She was so anxious that she was kept away from the rest of the farm animals, and was moved into a small pen in the garden of the shelter facility.

She met Sweetpea and the pair became best pals.

Sweetpea apparently took her around the rescue and ‘showed her the ropes’.

Sweetpea is often helping other dogs who come into the rescue needing extra medical attention, and Erin feels Sweetpea thought Heaven needed it, too.

But Sweetpea has also struggled. Erin believes she was used as a bait dog in an underground fighting ring, and when she was rescued she was underweight, had multiple infections and was covered in lacerations.

Erin adds that Sweetpea is the most ‘forgiving’ and loving animal, and that shows in the way she treats Heaven.

Erin said: ‘They’re both going to live out the rest of their days at their sanctuary so they can continue their friendship for as long as they see fit.’
