These Photos of An Abandoned Yorkshire Terrier Caring For Two Kittens As If They Were Her Own Will Melt Your Heart

They didn't know how or why... but there they were abandoned in a neighbor's yard. I shook my head. Called a good rescue friend. And took out the camera.

She recently had puppies… and now she was nursing two small kittens.

Caring for them as if they were her own.

Protecting them and teaching them.

Compassionate and loving.

And doing all the motherly things.

And happy to have the job.

The (thus far) unnamed Mama Yorkie & kitties have been graciously taken in by Buster's Friends Rescue. If you would like to help with their care, you can click on the yellow donate button here: http://bustersfriends.org/. Thank you.
