Friends forever! Brenda and Linda, shelter dog friends who went viral for leaping across kennels just to see each other, have been adopted together.
The two pit bulls found fame after Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) captured footage of Brenda scaling a five-foot kennel wall to hang out with her buddy Linda and shared it on social media.
At first, shelter workers were confused about how the canines ended up in the same kennel until they checked the shelter's security tapes, revealing Brenda's daring act of friendship.
After the video spread, MACC employees moved the two dogs into their own larger kennel and became more hopeful that the puppy pals would be adopted together.
That dream has officially become a reality.

Brenda and Linda with their new owners"It is so heartwarming to see the way that the public and community is responding to animals in need and recognizing how taking an animal in, and in this case, taking two animals in, [is] giving these sweet dogs who didn't have a home, a chance to have a new family forever, and that they get to be together," Foy said.
