How to help an orphaned 2 day-old puppy? Treat him like a kitten, of course

If someone asked you to name two animals that don't get along, you probably say cats and dogs. They seem to be natural antagonists: one aims to please, while the other thinks of managing the chicken coop. Some brief reflections by the staff of an animal shelter have discovered a happy exception to this rule. Bobby the Chihuahua had only two days when his mother was hit and killed by a car. He was taken to the shelter of the Michigan Humane Society, where the expert staff had an idea. The little Chihuahua "really needed the mother's care. They had a mother cat who was still breastfeeding and thought, a clever idea, perhaps to see if maybe this puppy could agree with these guys and see if mom cat could treat him as one of them. And it worked! It was a very successful test, and we are very happy with it. " The cat cat, a cat named Gwen, actually lets Bobby the Chihuahua join his litter of adorable puppies. Maybe because Bobby was the same size as kittens or maybe Gwen is a super mom. As you will see in the video published below, everyone wore beautifully. Ryan McTige, of the Humane Society, summarized what happened: "Think of Mother Nature and how cats and dogs shouldn't love each other, but as we all know in the Michigan Humane Society, this isn't always the case, and this is an extreme example of this. " They are spending some time in a foster home right now getting all the socialization, all the love they need and all the medical care they need. In the end, they were all adopted by the Michigan Humane Society, where they found loving homes forever.
