It’s a story of an abandoned kitten and a tiny Shih Tzu who saved it in the most amazing way. Animal control believes that the dog found a starving kitten and was able to nurse it even though she had no puppies of her own. It’s a condition known as “pseudo pregnancy”, the ability to lactate without actually being pregnant and it develops in extreme situations when female experiences strong empathy and  maternal instinct.

The unconventional family was found after a local resident reported loud barking coming from the ravine, cries coming from a mom desperate to save her adopted baby.
