The owners of the dogs were confident that their pets would get along easily, as both have a friendly nature and are not prone to conflict.

The meeting took place at the home of Reggio's owners, which helped to avoid the difficulties associated with the dog's growth during the flight. Pearl flew in from Florida and felt comfortable in her new surroundings, writes gazeta.ru.

Sam Johnson, Reggie's owner, said that his pet was the tiniest in the litter, but by the age of one and a half he had become a real giant. Despite his formidable appearance, he is actually a playful and responsive dog.

"He's almost like a child: playful and talkative-he'll 'tell' you anything he wants at any time," Johnson said.

Pearl, according to her mistress, shows love for others and wants to be the center of attention.

"She's tiny, but she has a big personality," Vanessa Semler described her pet's character.
