Golden Retrievers are gentle dogs who make great family members. They’re known for their adaptability and love for humans. It’s no wonder we came across a story like this one! In the heartwarming video below, a handsome Golden Retriever is introduced to his best friend’s new babies. The dog’s best friend isn’t another dog; it’s a cat! She just gave birth to a vulnerable litter of kittens who need a lot of her attention, a gentle touch, and a lot of love. The Golden Retriever sees the new babies from the doorway of the bedroom and can’t help but stare at the little creatures. His dad, knowing how gentle he is, allows him to enter the room.
The dog’s first move is to sniff his new teeny friends. He goes nose-to-nose to each kitten as mom comes in and holds them to his face. The mama cat is not fazed at all; she knows the pup can be trusted. Mom and Dad encourage a relationship to form so the babies have both their mother and a protective best friend.
The Golden Retriever then hops onto the bed with his mother’s permission. He’s confident he can step in and be a good surrogate parent to the tiny kittens. Amazingly, the mother cat is not deterred. In fact, she makes her way over to her brother and nuzzles into him. Her babies are right next to her nursing, while the cat and dog share a beautiful moment together. It’s as if the mama cat is telling her favorite dog that she loves him and approves of his company while her babies are most vulnerable.
The video below is both heartwarming and educational. If you’re wondering if a Golden Retriever is the right dog for you, look no further! They are wonderful additions to any household. Of course, every animal should be monitored by a human when a new interaction occurs (like this one). Get ready for your whole body to smile and for your heart to grow three sizes. Play the video below to get your daily fix of ‘Awww!’ Just wait until you see all of them snuggle!
