Sea Life Trust Cornish Seal Sanctuary/FacebookIf you’re looking for some truly wholesome content to brighten this otherwise dark day, you’ve come to the right place.
Let me introduce you to Aayla the rescue seal and Stanley the two-year-old dachshund, who, together, make the most unlikely pair of vacations friends.
I think it’s fair to say we’ve all been on trips away where we’ve met friends from different walks of life, and some us have even managed to remain friends one we return to our normal, and most probably boring, lives.

I’m going to leave you with that deliciously lovely piece of information and just say, you’re welcome.
