Stray dog found covered in the snow trying to keep kittens warm
In a heartwarming incident, a stray dog was found covered in the snow trying to keep a litter of abandoned kittens warm. The kittens would probably not have survived without the dog in the freezing temperatures. The dog that was identified as a two-year-old mongrel and was named Serenity by animal rescue officials. She was discovered in a ditch near a road near Chatham, in Ontario Canada. The temperature the night Serenity was found was -3 degrees celsius.
Myriam Armstrong an official at the Pet and Wildlife Rescue told local media that when a passerby stopped to help Serenity, she was surprised to find 5 tiny black kittens snuggling with Serenity for warmth and protection against the biting cold. The story of how Serenity chanced upon the 5 kittens is a mystery. Although, the story was widely circulated online and around 30 people contacted Pet and Wildlife Rescue about adopting them.
"I have been getting A LOT of attention on social media, but let me fill you in just in case you don't know my name and my story! My name is Serenity and I was found last week on the side of the road keeping 5 kittens warm. A good citizen called the shelter, a kind Animal Control Officer picked the 6 of us up and we've been living our best lives ever since! The kittens that I kept safe to have been kindly taken in by a foster family and will be put up for adoption once they're old enough to be on their own. Let me tell you a little bit about myself so that the shelter can find the most suitable home for me. I'm obviously great with cats and would have no problem going to a home that has cats in it"
