Whoever said that cats and dogs can’t ever get along? Here is actual proof that it’s not always the case!
Meet Ruby Jane, a big bloodhound that has a soft spot for kittens. In the video that has now gone viral with more than 8,600,000 views, we can clearly see a giant dog treating a kitty ever so gently and sweetly as it takes a bath. It naturally got the internet crazy and we’re here to shine more light unto it!
That big dog is Ruby Jane, a 5-year-old bloodhound who also happens to be a rescue. Her owner is Stephanie Vice, a veterinary technician who has been fostering kittens for years with her husband.
This is the very reason why Ruby Jane is comfortable with kittens. Because in the couple’s years of fostering, Ruby Jane has met more than 100 kittens. However, the one in the video is extra special as Ruby Jane particularly cared for the kitty lovingly.
The lucky rescue kitty who received all of Ruby Jane’s gentle care is Bodie. Bodie is a five-week-American Wirehair. As seen in the video, Ruby Jane was lovingly soothing the kitty as it was taking its first bath.
What tugged on everyones heart is Ruby Jane’s act of patting the shivering Bodie as it takes a bath. It’s normal for dogs to show affection among other dogs but to be extra caring to a kitten is something that just doesn’t happen any other day.
Ruby Jane’s owners are to be commended for making it possible for Ruby Jane to be fully well adjusted to kitties. Another proof that nothing is impossible when it comes to dogs so long as owners know how to treat and train dogs well.
Ruby Jane’s owners are still fostering Bodie and its two siblings. The couple, together with Ruby Jane, will be taking care of the siblings until all are ready to be given to their forever homes.
