A golden retriever, four parakeets, two finches, two cockatoos and a hamster walk into a room. It may sound like the setup to a classic joke, but it's actually the daily life of Bob the Golden Retriever and his friendly band. The motley crew live together in São Paulo, Brazil, and get along so well that they have captured the hearts of people all over the world.

As you can see, Bob is very zen.

He loves his cuddles.

And he's fiercely protective of his colorful brood.

Like all committed parental figures, he can get pretty tired.

At which point everyone hushes up and lets him have his rest.

But he also loves playing with his best buddies.

His long snout makes for some excellent climbing.

Really, his whole body is like a warm, furry playground.

Most importantly, everyone loves him. Everyone in the world.
