AWWW. I love how when the reporter was holding a kitten and a puppy, the mum dog was all, "You're gonna give me back my babies, right? Any time now? Yes? How about now?"

Ooooh, sickeningly cute.

(So was the woman in the video who wasn't the vet...)

A lot of animal moms don't discriminate well between their pups and other pups. Mother mice, for instance, have the urge to collect anything pup-looking and nurse it, as do mother rats; rats will raise mouse pups. On Cute Overload, there are dogs nursing all sorts of young or even adult animals, like a squirrel.

With Cute Overload, I can't help but feel that someone set up those pictures and the dog didn't object, as opposed to the dog making a regular habit of it. The rats/mice thing makes sense, because even if they're different species, they still are very similar.

Dog like to chase and bark at cats, though. And even when they don't, they can still very clearly tell that they're something different; Tatters had never met a cat, and the first time she saw one, she got really excited.

It does call to mind Holly's remarks about dog milk in Red Dwarf
