When we saw this beautiful photo story on Imgur, we just knew we had to share it with you.
This little kitten was left all alone when her mother rejected her but, thankfully, this little bundle of fluff caught the eye of a curious Golden Retriever dog.
Within moments of meeting, the pooch had taken the little tabby cat under his wing / paw, and was happily raising her as if she were his own.
The photos of their relationship will melt your heart.
The first meeting
After the little kitten was warmed up...
... and an unshakeable bond was formed
It just doesn't get any cuter than this
Best stretch ever?
Yup, the kitten and the dog made a snowcat together. We just... we just can't even.
We think this little hug is the kitten's way of saying "thank-you"
One more for luck?
Anyone else suddenly filled with warm Friday fuzzies? We just LOVE this beautiful story of adoption - and we hope to see plenty more photos of the duo soon.
**Suddenly feel an urge to unite a kitten and a dog? Us too. **
