Sweet Dog Nurses Kitten Someone Threw In The Trash

A heartless person's random act of cruelty toward the tiniest of creatures has been sweetly offset by a mother dog's random act of love.

Last week, Georgia Spathoula was taking out the garbage from her home in Greece when, upon reaching the dumpster out front, she happened upon a sickening scene. Fortunately, she knew just who she could turn to for help.

"When I opened the trash can I saw a newborn kitten tied inside a bag, hopelessly mewing for help due to some irresponsible being who abandoned it there for a tragic death," Spathoula told The Dodo. "I took it out and the neighborhood dog that had just given birth kindly let it nurse."

And she did so with a smile.

This isn't the first time a dog has opened her heart to an orphaned kitten (in fact, we've seen it many times before). But each instance offers a lesson on kindness, which, as evidenced by how this kitten's story began, is sorely needed by some humans among us.
