If there’s one thing that never fails to make us utter an audible ‘awww,’ it is odd-couple animal pairs who, despite their differences, are the best of friends. Submitter bbw7777777 shares this great photo of one such pair, Lilly the Labrador and Gizmo the cat, who have clearly risen above any typical dog-versus-cat animosity and emerged on a higher plane entirely.

When we finally get that coveted appointment to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, we’re definitely nominating Lilly and Gizmo for the Nobel Peace Prize. What nation on the world stage can’t learn something from their example?

For more photos of harmony in the animal kingdom (or to share your own), be sure to check out the Four-Legged Friends album at The Times’ photo-sharing site, Your Scene.
