Murkin’s owners foster kittens for a local shelter and big old softy Murkin helps out. What I find really remarkable is how the kittens bond with Murkin.

Murkin makes me happy. I accidentally found him on youtube a while ago. I finally had to like him on facebook so I don’t have to go searching for his updates. ---

I’ve seen these before. Such a good dog. My favorite is the one where the kitten tries to get his tongue. ---

I like it too! Such a nice break from all the arguing and one-ups-man-ship!
