Wholesome XL Bully is the Purrfect Midwife to a Pregnant Cat, Becomes the Kitten Litter's Favorite Gentle Purrtector

Taming an XL bulldog is not a task that every hooman can handle, but a cat–especially a pregnant cat with a belly full of kittens–is certainly up for the challenge. And, as all felines know, once you have a big dog's heart, you have their eternal protection. Surprisingly for most people (especially people who don't know or understand dogs), it's the extra large breeds that have an extra large heart and a mind to be careful, coincidentally making them the purrfect midwife to a pregnant cat.

Recently an extra large American Bulldog named Gunner went viral for being the gentlest and sweetest soul when his favorite feline, a grey tabby cat, became pregnant with a litter of kittens. In the months leading up to her delivery, he was by her side at all times and the duo was inseparable. The lady cat became extremely attached to her bulldog buddy and decided that once she started having kitty contractions, he would be the midwife to help her through it. 

Keep scrolling to enjoy the wholesome story of furriendship and dedication where an XL bully defies expectations and becomes the gentlest soul and a bone-a-fide part of this kitten family.
