Dog Who Was Raised With Cats Now Purrs When He Gets Pet By His Mom – Priceless Reaction
Priceless Reaction (Video)
You can forget the phrase “fight like cats and dogs.” We now know cats and dogs can coexist and become chummy best buds when they’re introduced correctly. And sometimes, dogs and cats get confused as to their different roles. Meet Winston — a sweet pup who loves nothing more than the warm affection he gets from his family. And it shows. But perhaps not exactly how you might think. Since the moment Winston was adopted as a puppy into Beth Clark’s family, he’s been surrounded by cats. The Clarks rescue and foster cats, so Winston learned early and often what felines are all about.
“He joined six cats,” said Clark. “They all bonded together in such a loving way.” But all that time among cats influenced Winston in an unusual way. One day, when Winston was about 4 months old, Clark noticed him making an unexpected sound when she pet him. He purred. Just like one of the cats. “At first, I was taken aback,” Clark said. “But I quickly figured out that what he was actually doing was a vocal expression of contentment that he had learned from his siblings!”
There is no way that you can’t smile when you watch it
And it’s not a negative growl at all, instead, the purr-like rumble is a way for the dog to express contentment. Almost like how cats purr when they’re happy. Sure, Winston’s purring might be a little unusual — he is a dog, after all — but it’s still music to his mom’s ears. She’s just happy that he’s happy. And his cat siblings would no doubt agree. “It shows that no matter the species, the ability to express love and affection can transcend even the most obvious differences!” Clark said. Watch the video, there is no way that you can’t smile when you watch it.
