Petey is a big girl now, but she loves to sleep on her daddy’s shoulder.
Chicks from the same litter usually don’t stay together as a family forever.
Some do and are certainly considered lucky. Growing up with siblings, sharing similar interests and playing like siblings is precious to dogs.
Norman and Annabelle can call themselves “the luckiest dogs” because they grew up next to each other. Norman and Annabelle have been friends since they became mothers and never realized that life would be the same without each other.
Their birthday was one of their happiest days, even though it fell on Friday the 13th. Norman and Annabelle were just born under a lucky star and have a heartwarming story to prove it.
PT Friday the 13th
Two pit bulls lying on the couch
Bobby Keene and his wife, Danny, from Maryland, knew their lives were about to change. Why?
This is because they got a pregnant pitbull girl who was a week away from giving birth. It was a huge responsibility, but the couple knew they had to respond and give the mother and calf a chance to survive.
Sure enough, a week later, a large litter of 12 puppies arrived at their new home in Maryland. Taking care of a dog is already a big task, but imagine raising dozens of puppies and their mothers.
Bobby and Danny said they didn’t want to get caught. It’s easier said than done. Some of these puppies were so cute that the couple couldn’t refuse them. Enter the lives of BFF siblings Norman and Annabelle.
As always, the boy has his mother and the girl has her father’s daughter. This is exactly what is happening now. Norman immediately chose Danny and his daughter, while Annabelle chose other family members. Annabelle has been in contact with her father, Bobby, for three weeks. One night, when Annabelle fell asleep on her father’s shoulder, they formed a special bond. A habit developed. Her father’s shoulder became Annabelle’s favorite place to sleep.
“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’s 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.”, said Danni.
This is the video that launched Annabelle and her brother into the world of canine celebrities.

Years later, Annabelle is still there, snoozing on her dad’s shoulder, even though she weighs over 50 pounds!
A father’s daughter will always be her father’s daughter! He may be older, but he’s still a puppy at heart.
Bobby and Danny never wanted to become famous, nor did they insist on dragging their dogs into the world of social media. One thing led to another and people loved the short videos as souvenirs.
“We never know what will go viral LOL. We’ve never been social media users and never thought we’d open a social media account for our dogs, but here we are. We don’t take it too seriously. We do it for fun. This is our way of creating a video diary of your life with your dog. It’s a beautiful thing to look back on when the work is done.
The 3-year-old Little Monsters, as they are called on Instagram and TikTok, have a lot of fans. All these puppies become viral videos and online communities love to follow their daily adventures. Do they play with big balls?
…or simply giving dad support while he’s working
“Their day-to-day lives are pretty structured. They are still pretty young and have a lot of energy, so we do mental stimulation activities with them every day. We also like to take them on adventures, whether it’s going to a park, hiking trail, or renting a SniffSpot.”
Aren’t they the luckiest pups, ever? Having such loving hooman pawrents is a blessing. Norman and Annabelle grew up into caring doggos, pawfect examples of their species. This couple of American Bullies couldn’t be happier for living their lives with Bobby and Danni.
Family… because it’s not the most important thing… it’s everything!
