'It's safe to say [the dog] raised him': Gentle giant Doberman who was weary of cats finds a tiny stray kitten, instantly adopts him and makes him an inseparable part of the family

Sometimes, cats and dogs can be best of friends. 

We know that most people don't believe that. It's a commonly held understanding that cats and dogs don't get along. But in reality, it depends on the cat and the dog and the relationship that they have. Sometimes, they really are complete opposites that don't want anything to do with one another. Other times, cats and dogs are best friends. Maybe they grow up together, learning each other's differences and how to bridge them. Maybe the cat and dog just choose each other, and they disregard the differences that they have, loving each other despite them. 

The differences between them are quite real, we're not saying that they are not. But the same way that humans can put our differences aside and get along despite them, animals can do the same. Cats may be picky about who they love, but once they choose you, they are incredibly patient with you. And dogs… well, dogs are quite persistent when they want someone to love them. The differences don't matter when you want to be friends with someone enough. 

And the kitty and doggo in today's video definitely chose each other. The dog here was a weary one. He got attacked by a kitty when he was younger and ended up not wanting anything to do with them anymore. But this one kitty… won him over. The dog found the kitten in the backyard, alerted his owners, and made sure that they brought the kitten in. After that, it was simply a matter of convincing them to keep the kitten. And really, it didn't take all that much.

The doggo could have waited for his owners to fall in love with the kitten on their own, and we're sure that would have worked as well, but he didn't wait. All the doggo did was win the kitten over. He became best friends with her, and his owners, looking at their friendship, could not bear to separate them from one another. They were too close, too loving. They chose each other, without the human's purrmission. And family members cannoy simple be thrown out. The only solution was adopting the kitten, and that is what the humans did. After that, the relationship between the kitty, doggo and the humans only continued to blossom.
