The story of true friendship between a dog and a kitten

The dog was old. Even by human standards the number of years lived by them looked very solid, for the dog is like the figure seemed simply inconceivable.

But the dog continued to live, but with each passing day it became increasingly difficult to walk, heavier breathing done.

Most of the day he spent lying on his rug in the living room. In the morning, when the adults were going to work, and the owner's daughter ran to the school, the dog displayed on the street grandmother, but her dog did not like to walk. He waited for Lena (the name of the host's daughter) will come back from school, and bring him into the yard.

The dog was very young, when the house is a small creature appeared, immediately switch all the attention on himself. Later the dog knew that this creature - a child, a girl. And since they were taken out for a walk together. First, Lena took out in a wheelchair, then the little man began to take the first tentative steps, holding on to the dog collar, and later they began to walk alone, and woe to the bully, who would venture to hurt a little mistress!

Much time has passed since then ... Lena grew up, boys, once to yank her pigtails, became young men, to look at a pretty girl, next to which a huge dog walked slowly.

Evening walks he waited especially. In the summer he liked to watch the sun hides behind the high-rise gray box and is replaced by cool evening heat of the day. In winter, the dog for a long time could enjoy the black, as if from a soft velvet sky in which someone scattered multicolored glitter stars. What was thought at that moment the old dog, why sometimes it is so noisy sigh? Who knows ...

Now it was autumn, the window was already getting dark and dripping quiet, dreary rain. Dog with Lena was a familiar route, when a sensitive dog ear caught the unusual sound. The sound was very faint and somehow disturbing. The dog looked at Lena - she did not notice the sound. Then the dog quickly as possible to its heavy body, rushed into a thicket of bushes, trying to find ... What? He did not know. Throughout his long life with a sound he had not yet encountered. He hardly heard calling him anxiously Lena ... He was looking for - and found. Little wet lump of pink opened his tiny jaws in a silent scream. Kitten. Neutral gray kitten, who just a week ago for the first time saw the world, choked on his neck tightened a rope loop. The front legs of his helplessly clutching at air, the rear hardly reach the ground.

The dog in one motion powerful jaws bit the branch on which was hung a kitten. He plopped down in wet grass, not even trying to get up. Carefully, so as not to bruise the little body, the dog took him by the collar and ordered to Lena.

- What kind of stuff are you with ... - started to Lena and broke off. Softly gasped, I grabbed the little quivering lump. I tried to remove the loop, but not wet rope gave way.

- Home! - Lena and commanded, without waiting for the dog ran to the porch

. The kitten survived. Three days of lay formation, not reacting to fuss about. Just squeaked piteously when the big, bearded man with a strange nickname "vet" doing fine long needle pricks. On the fourth day, the sight of a syringe, the kitten crawled under the sofa, which led to a strong revival among the people. And yet a week in the apartment and rode a mischievous cat completely healthy child. To the best of rowdy and unruly. But when the dog bit ryknut or even menacing look at the bully, the kitten immediately became a model of obedience.

A dog was getting weaker by the day. As if he gave part of his life to save the kitten. And once the dog was unable to rise from his litter. Again summoned a veterinarian who examined the dog and threw up his hands. People long for something said Lena quietly crying ... then clinked the glass, the vet began to approach the dog, putting his hands behind his back. And suddenly he stopped, like a wall rose in front of him.

But it was only a little gray kitten. Arching the back of the arc and raised his tail, he was the first time in my life hissed, driving away from the dog, something strange, but very scary. Kitty is very afraid of the person with a syringe. But something made him drive away from the dog vet ...

Veterinarian stood looking at the terrified cat's eyes. Retreated, he turned to Lena:

- He will not let. Remove the kitten ...

- No

. - Lena, - exclaimed the hostess - well, why torture a dog

? - No. Let it ride. No shots ...

The vet looked at the kitten, then tearful Lena, again a kitten ... and left. People went about their business, the apartment was empty. Only the grandmother was busy in the kitchen, occasionally sobbing and muttering something unintelligible.

The dog slept on a bed, his huge head on his paws and closed his eyes. But I do not sleep. He listened to the breathing kitten who happily slept comfortably ensconced at his side. I listened and tried to understand how this little weak creature managed to drive away a large and strong man.

A kitten asleep, and he dreamed that the dog is in danger again, but again and again he drives away the enemy. And while he was a kitten, close, no one would dare take his friend.
