They Rescued An Abandoned Kitten, And Now She's Just One Of The Pack

A Special Family

Little Rosie was found at just 3-weeks old in California -- abandoned, malnourished and dying. At first, things weren't looking good. But then the kind human who discovered her, Thoa, took the tiny kitten home and did something out of the ordinary to try to save her. She laid the fading kitten down with Lilo - her Siberian Husky.

"Lilo never left Rosie's side for hours. She cuddled her and comforted her until she was better and ready to finally drink from a bottle."

And that included hanging out with the rest of the pack! Credit: Instagram / lilothehusky

"When she saw Lilo and the dogs went outside to potty, she started doing the same," Rosie's human, Thoa, said. "When they were leashed to go on walks, Lilo wanted to be leashed and to come along too."

All 4 get along splendidly -- eating together, drinking from the same bowl, playing together and even napping together.

"We go on a lot of road trips, and we recent took Rosie kayaking and paddle-boating with us," Thoa said.

"She's not afraid at all, and as long as Lilo is there, she knows everything is going to be OK."
