The age-old belief that cats and dogs can’t get along is a total misconception! As pet parents, we know better. Animals are amazing creatures with sympathetic hearts and pure souls. When a dog named Charlot was paralyzed after suffering from canine distemper, her spirits were in the dumps. But soon, a kitty hero entered her life and changed everything!

Olaf, a rescue cat, was adopted by Charlot’s mom when her paralyzed pup exhibited signs of depression caused by isolation. Charlot watched as able-bodied dogs played and bonded, feeling like an outsider. To lift the dog’s spirits, her mom found a solution– that is when Olaf entered Charlot’s life.

The empathetic kitten sensed Charlot’s pain, both inside and out, and did all he could to comfort her. He snuggled up against her precious body to soothe every ache and pain. Charlot finally had a sibling that understood her challenges and didn’t mind lying in bed with her. Olaf was Charlot’s soul medicine!
