A one-year-old rottweiler became an unlikely but adorable protector for a tiny kitten in Wigan, England, video posted to TikTok shows.
The rottweiler, named Maggie, will be two in September and was filmed by her owner, Marie Parkinson, carefully lifting the kitten by the back of its neck to a comfortable spot on the couch beside a cuddly toy.
Maggie even proceeds to groom the miniature feline, with Parkinson telling Storyful that this show of affection was far from a one-off.
“She is ridiculously soft and scared of everything,” Parkinson said, adding that when her cat, Molly, had kittens, she had no idea how Maggie would react. “As you can see, she loves them and thinks they are hers,” she added.
The kittens, however, are eventually going to new homes and Parkinson said she was “worried” how Maggie would cope. Those interested can keep an eye on her progress at Parkinson’s @mree1972 TikTok account, where numerous additional videos of Maggie’s parental instincts toward her feline friends can be seen.

Sir Keir Starmer has revealed he "hated" being subject to a criminal investigation over beergate and the potential breach of COVID rules, and that waiting to hear if he would be exonerated was a "burden every day". In an interview with Sky News' Beth Rigby interviews programme, the Labour leader opened up about the moment he found out police would be investigating a video of him drinking beer over a takeaway curry with colleagues in a Durham constituency office, when social distancing rules were still in place. Sir Keir, who was cleared by Durham Police last month, said he was always confident he had broken no rules, but that it was a "big moment" when the decision was made to investigate him.
