A golden retriever has struck up an unlikely friendship with a six-month old kitten and it's the cutest thing we've seen all year.
We mean, just look at these pictures.
Two-year-old Samson and six-month-old Cleo, a Scottish fold cat have become inseparable since their owner Lea Hendy, 27, bought the little ball of fluff home, and has been sharing adorable videos of Samson giving his tired bestie a ride on his back.

This is too cute for words!
They can also be seen playing and snuggling together, taking exciting trips, and generally just hanging out and enjoying each other's company.
Lea, from New York, US, said: "Samson is a very sociable and loving dog. He saw a cat for the first time in Paris last year and he got so excited so I got him a cat of his own."
"He has took on a fatherly figure," she added. "Samson grooms her after dinner and they sleep together. It is amazing to watch."
During hikes, Cleo tends to get tired so she hops on to her best pal's back until she is re-energised, and Lea says that strangers are in awe with the pair and often stop to take photos.
"People can't believe it when they see how close they are. Dogs and cats are supposed to be enemies but that couldn't be any further from the truth with this pair.
"We have another dog called Calvin, 4, who is a Labrador but he isn't fazed.
"Cleo and Samson just clicked - she may be small and weigh three pounds but she definitely shows them who is boss."
Sounds like we all need a Samson in our lives! For more heart-warming pictures of the happy duo playing together you can, check them out on their official Instagram here.
