Fortunate are the puppies born from the same litter and spend their lives together in the same forever home. Some puppies are not lucky enough to end up together in the same family. It is considered a blessing for dogs when they grow up together with a sibling or 2 and share the same interests. They could make beautiful memories together.
Pittie siblings Norman and Annabelle are ‘the luckiest dogs ever’ since they were raised together in the same home. They were born on a Friday, the 13th day of the month. When they were born, these puppies never knew that life could be lived apart from each other. However, these 2 were born under a lucky star, even though Friday the 13th was assumed to be an unlucky day.
A couple from Maryland, USA, knew their life was about to take a turn for the better. Bobby Keane and his wife, Danni, took in a pregnant Pitbull who was about to give birth in a week. The couple was aware that it was a huge responsibility, but they had to provide the mother Pittie, and her puppies the chance to live.
The day arrived and the mother Pitbull gave birth to a litter of 12 puppies, and the couple welcomed them into their Maryland home. The couple never realized that the dog’s family would be this huge and taking good care of 1 dog is already a big job. Imagine raising 12 puppies and their mom!
Initially, the couple claimed they did not want to keep any of the puppies and planned to give them away. Well, easier said than done. The puppies were so irresistibly cute that they could not say no to whoever wanted puppies. However, they kept 2 of them… Norman and Annabelle, the BFF siblings.
As usual, male puppies stay with their mommies while the females always end up becoming daddy’s girls. Norman instantly bonded with Danni and her daughter, while Annabelle clicked with her hooman father. When she turned 3 weeks old, Annabelle bonded with Bobby, and she would usually fall asleep on her daddy’s shoulder at night. Since then, it became a habit: Annabelle’s favorite napping spot was on her hooman father’s shoulder.
▼ Here is the video that instantly made Annabelle and her brother recognized as canine celebrities.

Years have passed, and Annabelle weighed over 50 lbs. Yet, she still stuck to the habit of sleeping on her dad’s shoulder! Annabelle will always be Daddy’s girl! She may be big and almost full-grown but is still a puppy by heart.
Bobby and Danni never planned to be famous, nor did they expect their dogs to become social media celebrities. One thing led to another, and the next thing they realized, people around the globe enjoyed their short videos, which the couple shared as their family’s precious memories.
“We never know what is going to go viral, LOL. We have never been social media people, and we never would have thought we’d be running a social media account for our dogs, but here we are. We don’t take it too seriously. We do it for fun. It’s our way of making a video diary of sorts of our lives with our dogs. It’s something sweet we will be able to look back on once they’ve passed.”
The 2 3-year-old Pitbull dogs are fondly called Little Monsters on Instagram and TikTok, and their social media pages have quite a fanbase. All their videos instantly become viral, and the community loves viewing their daily fun adventures.
▼ They love to play with a huge ball in the backyard!

“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.”
Norman and Annabelle grew up becoming caring Pitbulls, a perfect example for their breed. These 2 American Bullies are the happiest doggos living their perfect lives with the Keane family. They are the luckiest siblings on the planet because family is not only an important thing… it is everything!
