Watch This Golden Retriever Pup Look After A Rescue Kitten

When a Californian resident stumbled upon a distressed, feral kitten hiding in a truck, she couldn’t have predicted the beautiful bond that would form between the kitten and her golden retriever pup. Payton Wink didn’t plan to keep the tiny, orange furball; she’s severely allergic to cats. Yet, while seeking the perfect home for him, her 6-month-old retriever, Harlow, stepped up to play nanny.
