Just a cute prairie dog and a golden retriever

A cute video of a prairie dog grooming a golden retriever at a home in Salem, USA on Thursday.

Prairie dogs are a type of ground squirrel, found in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

They were given the name "dog" because of their warning call which sounds similar to a dog's bark.

Although prairie dogs are kept as pets they can be difficult to care for.

Every year they go into a period called rut and their personalities can change drastically, often becoming defensive or aggressive.
