When CC and Chewbacca arrived at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, the staff quickly noticed something special about them. CC, the smaller of the two, was often seen comfortably perched on top of the larger Chewbacca, forming an adorable and heartwarming picture. The sight brought smiles to everyone at the shelter.

As time passed, it became clear that CC and Chewbacca were inseparable. Despite Chewbacca’s towering size, he always welcomed little CC to snuggle up against his soft fur. Their constant cuddling and affection for each other were impossible to miss.

The shelter staff were so touched by the pair’s bond that they decided to share their story on Facebook. “Chewbacca and CC are constantly cuddling when we pass by their kennel – usually, CC is draped over Chewbacca. These two love going on walks, car rides, and being a part of everything you do,” the post read. The photos of CC perched on Chewbacca quickly went viral, capturing the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.

CC and Chewbacca had spent many happy years with their loving family. Unfortunately, the arrival of a newborn baby with severe allergies meant the family had to make the heartbreaking decision to bring the dogs to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. Despite this challenging separation, the two pups found solace in each other’s company, making their bond even stronger.

At the rescue center, CC and Chewbacca were inseparable. “Every time we walk by their kennel, CC is either sitting on Chewbacca, draped over him, or curled up against him,” spokesperson Jessica Jorgenson told The Dodo. Whether indoors or outdoors, the pair was always side by side, trotting along together or huddling in the backseat of a car during trips. Their bond went beyond mere friendship; they were family to each other.

Their undeniable connection touched the hearts of many. “Their bond is undeniable,” Jorgenson remarked. The story of CC and Chewbacca resonated with people, leading to a surge of interest and support from the community. Their viral fame played a crucial role in their eventual adoption.

CC and Chewbacca’s story had a joyful conclusion. Their newfound fame quickly led them to their perfect forever home, where they were adopted together by a loving family.
