Just seen [this](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7397247.stm) video on the bbc website about a dog that’s taken on the role of foster mother to a litter of stray kittens.

I dont normally buy into the cute cat/dog pictures threads, but this video is very, very cute.

Awww!!

That vid definitely needed more closeups of the babies(but could there _ever_ be enough…?), but it was still ridiculously adorable.

I saw that on the CBS Sunday Morning News as a Mother’s Day thing. They also had a clip of a fawn suckling a cat and a jaguar (leopard?) adopting a baby orangutan (after eating its mother :eek: ).

I love the scene with the kitten(s?) flattened under one of the sleeping puppies.

Too cute.
