Stray Dog Refuses to Leave Helpless Kitten’s Side
Goldie the stray shih-tzu was found in Anderson, South Carolina, barking in a ravine. Those who found her thought she was stuck, tangled in the briars. It turns out, she wasn’t stuck at all. She was watching over a helpless kitten, refusing to leave her side.
Animal control officer Michelle Smith noticed that the kitten was nursing at Goldie’s side, staying under her protection. She brought both animals in; even when they were in the shelter, the two acted as family.
Luckily, some kind soul is fostering both the dog and the kitten. It would be cruel to separate this family.
