Kindness at its best: Dog saves orphaned kittens by feeding its milk

Daijiworld Media Network – Madikeri (EP)

Madikeri, Sep 20: Often, when a person behaves savagely, most of us have a tendency to term him an 'animal', but we forget that when it comes to being affectionate and compassionate towards other other beings, humans have a lot to learn from animals.

At a time when human relationships seem selfish and artificial and discrimination still persists at every level in society, a dog has set an example of true kindness and if one may say, 'humanity', by feeding its milk to orphaned kittens.

A pet dog named Gunda in a house belonging to Seethamma in Chetiamane in Madenadu here had delivered a few puppies but somebody had taken them away, thus depriving Gunda the love of its puppies. 

Meanwhile, a cat in the same house had given birth to kittens but the mother cat died when it came under the wheels of a vehicle while wandering around. The kittens were deprived of their mother’s milk.

The dog which witnessed the death of the mother cat showed exceptional level of affection and compassion towards the kittens and saw them as its own puppies it had earlier lost. The dog went close to the kittens and made them sleep next to it and also fed them its own milk.

Gunda thus gave life to the kittens which would have otherwise died by now.
