That is just precious. Thanks for sharing this story and pictures.
One concern I have would be that the kittens will probably not have the good sense to be wary of strange dogs when they're older. People who adopt them will need to take extra care to keep them safely at home. Wouldn't it be funny if they learned to wag their tails?

Within hours of her owner getting these kittens, she started producing milk and has taken over for their mom in every way. They do have to supplement with a bottle. In this election year where everybody is so negative about everything it was just so nice to see this dog be so kind to another species. Take note!
