In 2016, an unshakable bond was forged between two unusual companions: Tiny Tim the Chihuahua and Huge Ben the Great Pyrenees . As soon as they met, it appeared like fate had brought them together; their connection was so special that nothing could stand in their way. Since then, Tim has become a much-loved part of Ben’s family, illustrating that friendship knows no borders!

Jenny Leech, the mother of Tim and Ben, told The Dodo “Many times a day, I would stroll out into the living room and discover Tim fast sleeping on top of Ben.”

While Tiny Tim and Big Ben were physically opposites, as one was big and the other was short, their friendship surpassed any difference in height. During six blissful years, the best friends enjoyed one other’s company day after day, a bond that even time could not destroy.

Jenny remembers that in the early years, when Ben was a bit more nimble, he would lie on the couch and Tim would lie right on top of him.

Even when they weren’t snuggled up on the couch having a nap, this beautiful couple was inseparable. They did everything together, like swimming, and asking for food from the family at the dinner table.

Jenny liked watching Tim and Ben interact with each other, and she thought that their friendship might provide delight to others. That is why she built profiles for children on social networks, to be able to share their life experiences with the world. Soon long, they had tens of thousands of admirers who were enthralled by their bond.

When Tim joined the family, Ben was 7 years old. Little by bit, this kind-hearted behemoth began to encounter mobility issues. While he offered space to his brother when it looked that something was awry, Tim always kept close to him.

Jenny remarked “I suppose Tim felt some shift in him. Instead of his normal climbing on Ben shenanigans, Tim was gentler and was pleased to nap or sit close to him.”

During the night of December 24, 2022, a stroke cruelly hit Ben. The next morning his condition worsened and he went away at the age of 13 1/2, with those who revered him by his side, we may take peace in the knowing that Ben crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded by his loved ones.

When Jenny revealed the heartbreaking news of Ben’s death on her and Tim’s social media, a wave of anguish rushed over her followers. Beth, an Ohioan who followed Jenny online, was deeply saddened by this tragedy. To demonstrate her support for Tim through her sadness, she gave him a beautiful gift.
