A Dog Fed and Protected a Kitten Abandoned at the Bottom of a Deep Ravine

No Understanding – Strange Children: A Touching Tale of Unlikely Friendship

There is often a lack of understanding when it comes to caring for the young of others, and this applies not only to humans but also to the animal world. There are countless examples of adult individuals of one species nurturing the young of another.

This story took place in the small town of Anderson, South Carolina. From the bottom of a steep ravine, the barking of a dog could be heard. People strolling in the park near the ravine decided to call an animal rescue organization.

A rescue worker named Michelle arrived at the scene. The young woman bravely descended alone. After struggling through the underbrush, she finally reached the source of the barking.

Before her eyes, a touching scene unfolded. A small Shih Tzu dog was nursing a kitten that was even smaller. The fluffy baby was being fed dog milk.

It was likely that the Shih Tzu heard the cries of the unfortunate kitten and came to its rescue. Some heartless person had thrown the baby into the ravine. The dog had been feeding the kitten for several days and, realizing it needed help, began to bark.

Fortunately, they were heard and both were rescued. Michelle, holding the kitten in one hand and the dog in the other, managed to climb back up. She brought the two orphans to her organization. Here, along with her colleagues, she found names for the new arrivals: the Shih Tzu was named Goldie, and the kitten was named Katie.

Michelle posted announcements stating that the dog and cat were in safe hands. Soon, compassionate people decided to adopt the animals. The delighted young woman shared on her Facebook page that stories like these are why she loves her job.
