Raylan the rescue dog loves kittens. His mom, Laura Tindal, has fostered over 60 different kittens over the years, and Raylan bonds with every single one. Many of the kittens love the sweet dog in return, and they even follow him around like he’s their mom. Raylan will groom them, snuggle them, and even carry them places. Tindal never expected her sensitive dog to be such a cat lover, but he takes care of the kittens even better than she can. So, she began documenting his interactions on Instagram, sharing many cute photos and videos of Raylan with his adorable foster children.

Love at First Sight

When Raylan was a young dog, he was at a high-kill shelter, set to be euthanized. He was overlooked because he had a lot of energy and he wasn’t trained. Even so, Tindal decided to take a chance on him. She couldn’t let him die, so she adopted him. As it turns out, all he needed was a little patience and love.

Now, Raylan is one of the smartest, most well-trained dogs you’ll ever see. He’s constantly learning new skills, including turning off light switches and fetching beer for his mom. It’s heartbreaking to think that amazing dogs like him are euthanized every day.

After saving Raylan’s life, Tindal wanted to continue to make a difference for animals in need. So, she decided to try fostering kittens that had been abandoned or surrendered. Their first foster kitten was named Winston, and Tindal was unsure how Raylan would react. Winston was tiny, so she hoped her dog wouldn’t mistake him for a chew toy.

To her surprise, Raylan fell in love with the little kitten. It was like a motherly instinct kicked in, causing him to want to care for Winston and play with him as much as possible. Despite being a giant compared to the little fluff ball, Raylan was extremely gentle. He was always extra careful around the sweet kitten. Luckily, Winston was adopted by a neighbor, so Raylan can still hang out with him often.

Since their first foster experience went so well, Tindal decided to continue fostering kittens. Every time Raylan met a new kitten, it was like love at first sight.

Raylan’s Foster Kittens

For about 6 years now, Raylan has continuously fostered kittens. He falls in love with each one, and he treats them all as if they’re his own children. Their relationships are adorable, and the internet has recently fallen in love with Raylan’s story.

Not only does Raylan help the kittens with basic needs like grooming and socialization, but he also teaches them important life skills. He stops them if they try to claw at the furniture and he’s always there to supervise them. He knows how mischievous children can be, so he wants to make sure the kittens stay out of trouble.

“When he has his kittens, he’s amused and feels like he has a job, which allows me some time to watch TV without guilt,” said Tindal. “But truly, seeing how sweet he is with the kittens and seeing how much the kittens just love him like a mother is truly heartwarming.”

As much as Raylan loves the kittens, he is perfectly fine when they get adopted. He seems to enjoy having a little time to rest before the next kittens come. Then, he gets excited to foster all over again. His favorite days are the ones where new kittens arrive. The sweet little cats might not know it at first, but they are so lucky to have Raylan looking after them.

These dog owners saw their pet panicking and frantically running around the boat out back in the yard, so they went to investigate. The dog was trying to get under the boat, so something was clearly under there. That’s when they discovered what all the fuss was about.

So cute! 🙂

It’s sad these kittens were abandoned and left to fend for themselves, but these people did all the right things to keep them alive and healthy!

The post Owners Go Out To Do Recon After Seeing The Dog Panic Around The Boat appeared first on G2a-ltc.

Dogs learn a lot about how to behave from observing. They watch other dogs and they watch their humans, absorbing their behaviors. As it turns out, dogs can also learn a lot from watching cats.

Take Mako the dog for example. He grew up with two cat siblings: Pecan and Gizmo. According to his human family members Bethany and Samantha Castiller, Mako started reaching new heights after his cat siblings enlightened him. They told The Dodo:

“The cats get up on the cabinets. Once he saw them doing that, immediately he was up there anytime they’re there.”

Puppy see, puppy do! Mako observed his cat siblings climbing on whatever they felt like climbing on. Naturally, he figured this is a thing he should be doing too. He learned to take leaps other doggies might never dare attempt. Like, for instance, up to the top of the refrigerator.

The Castillers described how weird it was seeing Mako do this for the first time.

“When I actually saw him jump onto the fridge I didn’t realize in my mind that dogs can just gracefully jump like that.”

Despite some commenters claims that they just put their dog up on the fridge for “likes,” additional footage on TikTok shows Mako’s process. He jumps from the floor to the counter and then up to the fridge. He also commonly jumps on top of tables and countertops.

His family delights in seeing him standing in weird places. They’re just not sure why he’s so keen on doing that.

“We got him from a rescue shelter. They told us he was good with cats, but they didn’t say anything about him acting like a cat!”

This confused sweetie really does act like a cat though. Mako thoroughly enjoys eating kitty treats. He also loves cat string toys, so his humans got him a large dog-sized version of his own.

Bethany even joked that he prefers to hang out with the cats more often than he does with them.

“He definitely wants to be around [the cats] more than us sometimes.”

Even though it means not leaving food out on the counters, Mako’s family wouldn’t trade him for any dog-like dog in the world.

“I just love his personality and how unique of a pet he is.”

Honestly, I’d have to agree with that last statement. Mako is one unique and adorable pup. Follow @Mako_TheCatDog on Instagram for more dog cat adventures!
