Instead of Saving Herself from the Cold Weather, Dog Cuddles Five Kittens to Keep Them Warm from the Snow
With the pandemic still ongoing, any act of kindness goes a long way. It provides hope and inspiration that, even though the world is facing many challenges right now, you can be sure that someone out there will lend a hand to help you continue your journey in life.
Moreover, kindness is not only found in humans but also in animals. While animals might not be able to communicate their intentions of helping humans directly, they certainly know how to be kind in their own way.
You may have heard stories about dogs saving people from drowning, a cat that killed a snake that could have bitten someone inside the house, and most of the time, these are tales of animals saving humans. However, have you ever heard of an animal helping another animal outside of its own kind?
Consider this heroic event witnessed by a stranger who was driving back home from Ontario, Canada. The driver spotted a figure resembling an animal at the side of the road and decided to stop to see what it was.
Given that the weather was cold and it was dark, the stranger thought the creature might be in danger and in need of help. Scroll down to discover what the driver saw on his journey and why the event was considered heroic.
The Brave Serenity Who Took Care of the Kittens in the Middle of the Snow
Upon investigating, the driver discovered that it was a dog curled up in the snow. However, it was not alone; after getting a closer look at the dog, five small kittens appeared, hiding underneath the dog's coat.
The driver understood what was happening, as it was clear that the dog was protecting the kittens from the snow. The dog was keeping the kittens warm, and even though no one knew how the poor kittens and the dog ended up there in the middle of nowhere, the driver continued to help them.
Dog Still Watching Over the Kittens at the Shelter
The stray dog and the kittens were brought to the Pet and Wildlife Rescue shelter. It was discovered that the dog had no owner and that the kittens had been abandoned.
Despite the fact that no one took care of them, the rescuers knew that the dog had cared for the kittens, saving them from the terrible situation they were in. The dog could have sought warmth elsewhere but chose to stay and sacrifice for the sake of the kittens.

Even after arriving at the shelter, the dog continued to watch over the kittens as if she were their mother. Everyone in the shelter was amazed at how affectionate this dog was toward the kittens.
"It's truly heartwarming! It had been a very cold night, so these kittens would have had a very hard time surviving," one of the rescuers said.
Pet and Wildlife Rescue's Update About the Dog and the Kittens
The dog was later named Serenity. With the post going viral and reaching thousands of people on Facebook, the Pet and Wildlife Rescue put Serenity up for adoption, while the kittens will remain in the shelter until they are old enough to be adopted.
It is inspiring to witness how the dog turned a potentially sad ending for the kittens into a better one and touched thousands of lives with her kindness. Hopefully, the dog and the kittens will soon find their forever home, where they will be showered with love and kindness.
