RETIRED GUARD DOG FINDS AND ADOPTS ABANDONED KITTEN

Will you be my baby? Adorable moment retired guard dog who never had puppies finds a tiny kitten in the park and takes on the role of being her mother.

 
It's an unlikely pairing but a former guard dog has adopted a two-week-old kitten after she was dumped in the woods by her owner - and the two couldn't get any cuter. Retired South Florida store-owner Lorrie has shared adorable pictures of her dog, a large Akita breed, named Lily cuddling her little pal in her paws. 
 
Lorrie said she was recently walking Lily, who protected her shop for years after training as a guard dog, in a heavily wooded area near her family's home when she heard a noise. Unfortunately, the park, being near a busy highway, is also the place where people dump their pets. 'I heard a loud funny noise as we entered the park.. On the way out I decided to investigate the noise that was still quite loud thinking it could be an injured bird,' she told Kittyarmy.com.
 
As they walked towards the noise, 10-year-old Lily started sniffing around and suddenly pounced, Lorrie recalled.  'Up she came with a two-week-old kitten in her mouth. I nearly fainted!' Lorrie said.
 
She said she told Lily to 'drop it' and the dog deposited the kitty at her feet unharmed.  Lorrie said the kitten was all alone and left to to die in the woods, adding that in recent months she has discovered five animals in the park in similarly dire situations.
