According to ViralHog, Eli the beagle and Chewie the sloth live in San Antonio de los Altos, Edo Miranda, Venezuela.

According to Chewie's Instagram, he was first introduced to the friendly pup after being rescued and raised by some kind people.
The humans weren't totally sure how the two animals would do together but as it turns out, they get along quite well.

In the video shared below, you can see Chewie reach down and caress Eli's face before the two embrace each other.
Eli the beagle doesn't back away even a little when Chewie reaches down with his large claws to touch the dog. In fact, the dog seems to encourage the embrace by nuzzling the sloth's hand and pulling closer!

It's so sweet and shows just how much they care for one another.
They may not be from the same species or have much in common, but love and friendship really know no bounds and they're a beautiful example of that.
