Mexico — Juan José P. Flores has been leaving food outside his house to make sure that the stray cat he usually sees in the neighborhood does not go hungry. Unbeknownst to him, his dog, a Pit Bull named Hades, picked up on his loving gesture.
The other day, Flores was at home when he heard knocking at the back door, where Hades likes to hang out. Flores thought it was a person, but it was actually his pup. Hades, it turns out, had something important to share.
"He was desperate and making a lot of noise," Flores told The Dodo.
Sensing the urgency, Flores finally went outside to check, and then he saw what Hades was so eager to show him — he “invited a certain someone to stay in his doghouse.”
That someone was the bashful stray cat. As it turns out, she was pregnant and in need of a safe place to deliver her babies. Hades knew just the right spot.
"I was very surprised," Flores said.
Hades then guarded the doghouse while the stray cat gave birth to two kittens.
More details over at The Dodo.
Wholesome!

Stories like this prove that pit bulls can have hearts of gold! I do hope that Señor Flores had the mother cat fixed and made sure that the kittens were, too.
