214: dog fosters kittens

I just had to post this. It is quite the most endearing tale, of a dog in Cheshire, England, rearing six motherless kittens alongside her own pups. Echo the Golden Retriever took the kittens under her paw (?!) after they'd been abandoned. Based on the evidence from today's linked story - a BBC news video - the puppies and kittens appear to be happily sharing Echo, and her bed, and her milk! However, new homes are being sought for them all once they're weaned. A heartwarming tale of cross-species generosity, if ever I saw one...
