Great Dane adopts tiny kitten into her litter at Michigan animal shelter

So I was reading this article about a Great Dane that took in a little kitten at a Michigan animal shelter, and it was just too cute not to share. Apparently, the Great Dane had recently given birth to a litter of puppies, but when the staff at the shelter introduced the kitten to the mix, the mama dog was all too happy to take on another baby.

What I found especially heartwarming was that the Great Dane treated the kitten just like her own pups, nursing, grooming, and cuddling with the little guy. It’s amazing to see how nurturing animals can be, even across species lines.

But of course, this story also highlights the importance of animal rescue and adoption. So many animals are in need of loving homes, and it’s heartening to know that there are kind-hearted dogs like this Great Dane out there willing to take them in.

Plus, let’s be real, we could all use a little more adorable animal content in our lives right now.
