I had to bring this story to the pet lovers out there. I am one, so when I read Golden Retriever Nurses Stray Kitten at AOL News it put a smile on my face…

"STEPHENS CITY, Va. (Oct. – A stray kitten has found a new mother
in a golden retriever, who began producing milk for the little
feline after hearing its cries.

Honey hadn’t given birth in 18 months, but after her owner,
Jimmy Martin, brought home the kitten, she suddenly found herself
playing mom.

"She started licking her and loving her. Within a couple of
days, Honey started naturally lactating," said Kathy Martin,
Jimmy’s wife. "The kitten took right to her, and she started
nursing her."

Jimmy Martin noticed the kitten, whom the family dubbed
"Precious," about six weeks ago, when she ran in front of his
concrete truck. After following her and realizing there was no
mother cat in sight, he took her home.

The kitten refused to drink from a bottle, and Jimmy’s mother,
Ruth Martin, feared Precious would die.

The family initially tried to keep Precious and Honey apart,
fearing the dog would play too rough with the little gray-striped
kitten. But Honey was elated at Precious’ presence, wagging her
tail and prancing all over the house trying to sneak a peak at her.
Eventually, the family let Honey approach Precious, and the dog
immediately took to her."

I know I am a sucker for anything to do with animals. I can’t pass up a cute story about them.
