'She's being a good adoptive momma': Dog finds tiny kitten under a car and immediately adopts him into her family, not asking her humans for pawmission

When we tell everyone that itty bitty kittens have superpawers, we mean it. They really do. And you know how we know it? Because everyone loves teeny weeny kittens. Everyone. Some people still have something to say about cats. They say that cats are aloof, that cats don't really care about us, and a whole bunch of other untrue stuff. They're wrong, but they still say it. But no one says anything bad about kittens. Because they are too cute. Even the biggest cat hater - if they get chosen by a kitten - will melt at the sight of that kitten.

And dogs are no different. Kittens use their superpawers over dogs too. It's the only thing that would explain why we keep seeing stories of dogs adopting kittens. It's their the fact that kittens have superpawers or the fact that dogs are angels. We're leaning toward… both. Both are true. Too many meowgical things happening at once. That is what makes these stories so friggin' adorable each and every time we see them.

And this is why - well, one of the reasons - dogs are angels. Because while we read stories about humans abandoning their cats every other day, here's a dog, an innocent creature who is guided by its instincts, doing the right thing by adopting this kitten. Everyone should be more like this dog.

We agree with all the commenters. The amount of love in these pictures is amazing. It gives us hope for humanity, seriously. Because sure, it was the dog who called dibs on the cat, but the humans, at the end of the day, did have to accept the little fluffy thing. And they did. And we need more humans like them.
