This band is made up of a 2-year-old girl and a 5-year-old dog? That’s right, a cute kid from South Africa and her best friend, a dog named Zara, are the cutest viral superstars we’ve seen in quite some time.

Their friendship began the moment Gia was born. Zara has always been protective of her human little sister, and they have been “two peas in a pod” from minute one. “She just knew that Gia was the newest member of the pack, and she just knew to protect her,” their mom Stacey said. “They’ve kind of just naturally grown up as sisters.”

The two of them do absolutely everything together, from playing to swimming or just hanging out at home. Gia loves Zara so much that her first word was actually “pup”. “They want to be together all the time,” Stacey added.

Last year, Stacey gave Gia a microphone for Christmas. As the little girl started experimenting with the instrument, mostly just making wordless noises into the microphone, everyone was surprised to hear Zara join in! Stacey said Zara has “always been vocal,” but she’d never heard the dog howl along to music the way she does whenever Gia sings.

The mom couldn’t help sharing videos of Zara and Gia singing together online, and they’ve gone viral! “I’m still trying to work out who’s the lead, because at the moment they kind of fight for that top spot,” Stacey said with a laugh. “Zara loves the limelight, and I think so does Gia.”
