Golden Retrievers And Husky Give Warm Welcome To Newborn Kitten

Aug 14, 2020 by apost team

An adorable video of three large dogs befriending a newborn kitten has been making the rounds on the Internet. It was posted by Viral Paws, a community that specializes in posting cute animal videos, many of which depict friendly interactions between animals.

In the video, three dogs are shown with a litter of kittens. Two of the dogs are golden retrievers, which are known for their gentle dispositions, while the third is a Husky, which isn’t. Huskies are described as having a strong “prey drive,” according to Hills Pet, which means they are apt to chase smaller animals like cats. Seeing one acting so gentle to the helpless kittens is as surprising as it is sweet.

The video is a compilation of several shorter clips that were filmed over several weeks. In the first few clips, the kitten is apparently under a week old, for its eyes were still closed. Later clips show the kitten with its eyes open and clumsily crawling.

Throughout the video, the dogs nuzzle and lick the kitten. At first, they mainly watch the kitten; one segment shows them resting their noses on the kitten’s bed. As the kitten gets older, the dogs become slightly less restrained with their affection.

While the dogs take center stage, the mom and (presumably) dad, of the kitten appear briefly in the video. The two can be seen cuddling and nuzzling one another while the dogs watch after their newborn, who if ever gets bullied by other kittens, could say: “Don’t mess with me, my daddies are giants.”
