Detroit Cat Adopts Orphaned Puppy

A two-day-old Chihuahua puppy ended up at an animal shelter in Detroit last month, after its mom got hit by a car. He needed milk, but there weren't any dogs there that were nursing.

The people who run the place named him Bobby, and decided to put him in the same cage with a cat that had just given birth to a litter of kittens. It worked, Gwen the cat accepted him like he was one of her own kittens. They've all been living together for about a month-and-a-half now.

Here's the best part. The shelter didn't want to split them up, so they got the Michigan Humane Society to take them in, because they have more resources. Now the Humane Society is going to take care of them until someone's willing to adopt Gwen the cat and Bobby the dog together.
