An unusual family of one man’s pets: An eccentric, but tight-knit group that consists of one golden retriever, one hamster, and eight birds.31-year-old Luiz Higa of São Paulo, Brazil, tells Peta Pixel that his golden retriever, Bob, is a little less than two years old. In the beginning, he just had Bob,a cockatiel and a parakeet. “Since the beginning, I put them together to see their behavior,” he tells us. “It was nice, So, I decided to have them play together during my free time.” He then added more birds and a hamster to the group. Higa’s photos show the group posing, playing, exploring, and resting together.

It just doesn’t get any better than this. The one absolute, unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world - the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous - is his dog.
