When this tiny golden retriever puppy started crying, the household cat decided to lend a helping paw. The sweet kitty, whose name is Fig, immediately started cuddling and kissing the distressed pooch. Since the expert babysitter seemed to have everything under control, the puppy’s mother, Olive, got to take a little break from parenting. Meanwhile, Fig sat with the little dog until they stopped crying!
Fig and Olive’s owners managed to capture some heart-melting footage of the adorable interaction on camera. Viewers were delighted by the YouTube video highlighting the kind cat’s sweet relationship with the little puppy. So far, over 16 million people have seen the clip!
“I love how animals recognize a baby even if it’s a different species,” wrote one commenter.
“You can tell mom is tired,” said another. “What a good friend she has in that cat.”
Dogs and cats often get along better than we expect, especially when it comes to their little ones! Helpful pooches have also been known to help their feline friends with parenting responsibilities. This affectionate dog has been a fantastic caregiver to a litter of kitties living in her home.
