Alex lives in Los Angeles in the US and acts as a foster carer for abandoned kittens.
A driver found a litter of kittens inside their car engine and contacted the rescue organisation Alex volunteers for to ask for help.
Love at first sight
The poor little cats were far too young to survive on their own. Most of all, they needed the love and support of a mother cat. However, without a mother cat in their foster home, the kittens turned to Salem, Alex's assistance dog instead.
As you can see in the video below, one of the kittens starts kneading the dog and almost tries to nurse. Faced with this little creature showing her complete trust, the dog's reaction is deeply touching: she sniffs him gently and lets him carry on. In another video, you can see her keeping a watchful eye over all the kittens and licking them to help clean them.
Deeply moving
For these adorable kittens, Salem's presence offers a reassuring environment and wonderful opportunities to bond. Alex was deeply moved by the scene. Several internet users joked in the comments, saying it was Salem's kitten or the kitten's dog!
For some cats and dogs, living together doesn't always come naturally. To encourage a peaceful relationship, we recommend going at each pet's pace and providing separate spaces. Introductions should be gradual: start by letting them discover each other's scent, then allow them to observe one another from a distance, always under close supervision.
An adorable bond
