One heroic stray dog saved the lives of a litter of orphaned kittens by keeping them warm and cuddling them.

Heroes do exist, and many of them are not human. Animals often display a strong sense of affection and care, and it is their pure, selfless nature that urges them to help others when in trouble.

One cold day in November, one man spotted a shivering stray dog on the snowy roadside. He soon realized that she was not alone, as she has wrapped herself around a group of tiny, shivering, orphaned kittens.

He knew that the dog didn’t want to leave the poor kittens completely on their own, so she was cuddling with them to keep them warm and safe!

The five kitties would have certainly frozen to death if the friendly dog wasn’t there to take care of them. Not willing to simply leave them, the man decided to take them to the Pet and Wildlife Rescue shelter.

A shelter spokesperson said:

“It’s truly heartwarming! It had been a very cold night so these kittens would have had a very hard time surviving.”

As the kittens required constant attention, during the whole time, volunteer foster parents took care of them and made sure they received proper nutrition and supervision.

The caring dog was named Serenity. She revealed her one-of-a-kind personality, and apart from being so loving, protective, and caring, she is also a very playful dog.

Even though she is approximately 2 years old, she has the energy of a puppy. She was never trained, spayed, or socialized, and she behaves like a dog who never had a proper home.

Serenity surely saved the kitten’s lives, as she prevented them from dying of hypothermia.

Moreover, during the entire treatment, she insisted on overseeing the kittens’ progress by regularly visiting them!

What an adorable creature! She taught us all a valuable lesson!
