A teeny tiny kitten was found by a dog who became her protective canine brother. They have never parted since that day.

It seemed to be just another day when Randy Rundio took his dog Scooter out for a walk and exercise, but when Scooter returned to his owner, he brought back a tiny 2 week old kitten who could barely walk at the time. According to Randy, they started feeding the kitten out of a bottle and trying everything they could to keep her alive. She was then named Peanut.

Before Peanut felt acquainted with her new tail wagging friend, her guard was up as she hissed at Scooter when he tried to come check on her, but everything seemed to change so quickly as the next few days ensued.

Peanut came out of her shell and tugged herself under Scooter's arms. Scooter became her big protective brother. They are nap buddies and partners in "crime" as they conspire mischief around the house. Peanut seems to have taught Scooter a few antics herself. Scooter would share his rope with Peanut even though it weighed more than her when she was a kitten. Sometimes Peanut turns his rope into a pillow and other times they just tucker out next to each other after a long day of playing.
