The animal world is filled with countless tiny wonders and unexpected friendships that we’ve never seen coming. One of those friendships was formed between Tilly G the Tortoise and the adorable puppy named Skippy, who found viral fame by each other’s side after becoming BFFs.
With 440,000 followers under her belt, Tilly is one of the most popular tortoises on Instagram, in addition to having an impressive following across several other social media platforms. She didn’t have to embark on this journey of her own because her owners welcomed many more rescue animals into their home.
Tilly may be the only tortoise around, but she has several four-legged companions, including five cats and four dogs. After seeing what an amazing bond they formed, Tilly’s owners decided to share their pets’ adventures on social media in an attempt to spread love and pawsitivity.
Tilly gets on well with all the cats and dogs in the household, but the adorable pup named Skippy is definitely her BFF. They grew up by each other’s side, and they enjoy snacking, napping, and playing together, always sharing their favorite toys. In addition to being the stars of countless viral videos on Instagram, Tilly and Skippy’s story was also captured in the children’s book Tilly G The Tortoise & Skippy, written by Karen Sisneros and illustrated by Nadia Ronquillo.
