When puppies are born, it’s rare for siblings to stay together in their forever homes. But some are lucky, like Norman and Annabelle, who grew up side by side, sharing every moment.
These two can truly called the “luckiest dogs ever” because they’ve never known life without each other.
From the moment they were in their mother’s womb, Norman and Annabelle were inseparable. The day they entered the world incredibly special, even though it happened to on Friday the 13th.
But instead of bad luck, these Pitties were born under a lucky star, and their story is nothing short of heartwarming.
A Friday the 13th Blessing
Bobby Keane and his wife, Danni, from Maryland, were about to embark on a life-changing journey.
They took in a pregnant Pitbull, just a week away from giving birth. It was big responsibility. But they knew they had to give this mother and her puppies a chance at a better life.
A week later, on Friday the 13th, a litter of 12 adorable puppies was born in their Maryland home. Raising one dog is challenging enough, but raising a dozen pups and their mom was a monumental task.
Bobby and Danni initially planned to find homes for all the puppies, but some were just too irresistible to let go.
That’s how Norman and Annabelle, the inseparable siblings, became part of their family. As is often the case, boys tend to bond with their moms, and girls become daddy’s girls.
Norman quickly became attached to Danni and her daughter, while Annabelle found a special connection with her human dad, Bobby.
A Bond Like No Other 💕
From the time she was just three weeks old, Annabelle and Bobby formed a unique bond. One night, Bobby picked her up, placed her on his shoulder, and she fell asleep.
This moment sparked a tradition—Bobby’s shoulder became Annabelle’s favorite napping spot.
Danni recalls, “One night when Annabelle was 3 weeks old, Bobby picked her up and put her on his shoulder, and she fell asleep. It became a regular thing after that. They bonded in that moment.
He never tried to stop her from doing it. There will be times when she gets a little overbearing, and he makes her move until she calms down, but once she does, she comes back and falls asleep on his shoulder.”
Even years later, Annabelle, now over 50 pounds, still loves to nap on her dad’s shoulder.
Although she grown, she’s still very much a puppy at heart. Bobby and Danni never set out to make their dogs famous, but their videos of Norman and Annabelle’s antics quickly gained popularity.
Today, the three-year-old “Little Monsters,” as they affectionately called on Instagram and TikTok, have a large and devoted fanbase.
Whether they’re playing with a giant ball or simply offering dad support while he works, everything these pups do seems to go viral.
Bobby and Danni cherish the moments they capture on video, saying, “We never know what is going to go viral, LOL.
We have never been social media people, and we never would have thought we’d be running a social media account for our dogs, but here we are.
We don’t take it too seriously and do it for fun. It’s our way of making a video diary of sorts of our lives with our dogs. It’s something sweet we will be able to look back on once they’ve passed.”
Norman and Annabelle’s lives filled with adventure and structure. They engage in mental stimulation activities daily and enjoy outings to parks, hiking trails, or even Sniff Spots.
These pups are indeed living the dream with their loving human parents, growing into caring and happy dogs.
A Lesson in Love and Family 🐶💖
“Family… because it’s not just about blood, it’s about the bonds that make life beautiful.”
The story of Norman and Annabelle teaches us that family, whether by blood or bond, is everything.
The love and care Bobby and Danni have shown these dogs highlight the importance of kindness, responsibility, and the joy that pets bring into our lives.
In the end, it’s clear that family isn’t just the most important thing—it’s everything.
