A stray dog adopted an orphan kitten after losing her litter of puppies. They were discovered in a roadside ditch on March 17. The dog couldn't let her baby out of her sight.
The unlikely pair were rescued and taken to the Mercy Animal Clinic in Garland, Texas. The little baby kitten, less than 10 days old, has been nursing on the dog mama for milk.
They named them Pittie and Kitty. [Scroll down for videos]
"Each morning and when I go in to get Kitty for a feeding she is usually snuggled with Pittie," said Dr. Rick Hamlin. "Every morning Pittie is happy to see Kitty and cleans her up."
"There have been well-wishes coming in from around the world as far as Singapore, Slovenia and Australia.
We are currently interviewing potential adopters with the stipulation that they go together."
"They've made it together this far," he added.
