I bow down to the heroic and caring nature of this dog.
However, regarding comment in the thread title, the feelings for one animal to another is not limited to dogs.
When I was thirteen, our calico cat had kittens. The kittens were out on the front lawn one Sunday morning as we were waiting in the car to go to church. Along came the big black Lab from the neighborhood to come over and see what the kittens were up to. Nothing offensive at all, but the kittens had their back hairs all up and as soon as they could one of the kittens turned and scampered into the house through the broken window pane in the front door...seconds later, mommy calico cat bounds out of the house through the broken window pane and takes to steps and jumps and lands on the black Lab - claws bared.
This little calico was attacking the dog ten times it's size. My brothers and sister and I just looked at each other in amazement. That little calico cat had no fear, but was bound and determined to protect it's young. That poor big dog was doing nothing but being friendly...poor dog, I felt sorry for it. It never came around our yard again after that. I don't remember what happened in church that day...but I remembered that scene for sure.
Don't mess with mommy kitty! :clapping:
Doesn't at all compare with the amazing and heroic dog in the video...
