Gunner the dog and Delta the dolphin have been friends for years.
Is there anything – anything – cuter than inter-species friendships? If you think the answer is yes, these photos of Gunner the dog reuniting with his best friend, Delta the dolphin, will change your mind. Over the last few days, social media users have been gushing over pictures of Gunner and Delta that have gone insanely viral everywhere – from Twitter to Facebook to Instagram. Their crazy popularity is not without reason either, because who doesn’t love a good friendship story? Especially, one that involves two of the most adored animals on the Internet.
Gunner and Delta’s ‘aww-dorable’ friendship began when the dog was just an eight-week-old puppy. At that time, Delta the dolphin was four-years-old.
The two met at the Dolphin Research Centre in Florida Keys, which is a non-profit organisation home to a family of dolphins and sea lions. Gunner, who belongs to one of the organisation’s employees, was photographed meeting Delta six years ago, when the dolphin poked its head out of water to greet the pooch.
Almost a week ago, the two were filmed reuniting in photos that were sure to brighten your day. In the pictures, which have created a huge splash on social media with millions of ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ on social media, Gunner the goldie was seen happily licking its water buddy.

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
