Dogs are famous for their unwavering loyalty, with some displaying their devotion from the start, while others develop that bond over time. Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies, are particularly wonderful companions. These lively, energetic dogs love being by their humans’ side, offering both companionship and protection. Thanks to their devoted nature, Yorkies are also known for their fearless and protective instincts. In this heartwarming tale and irresistibly cute video below, we are introduced to a Yorkshire Terrier who truly lives up to his reputation. He’s a very good boy, showing his loyal and caring nature to a friend in need.

During a rainy day walk with his mom, a Yorkie noticed someone following close behind. Rather than being alarmed by the new presence, the pup was intrigued. When he turned around, he found a tiny, stray Calico kitten trailing him. It was clear the kitten had chosen the Yorkie for a reason. Homeless and vulnerable, the fluffy kitten was in desperate need of warmth and shelter, and somehow, she knew this Yorkie would offer the comfort she sought.

She’s so small that she struggles to keep up with the dog. But the Yorkie doesn’t allow her to suffer. He stops walking, turns back to look at her, and encourages her to keep up. He slows his pace to match hers, and the duo continues on their way. The pup’s human, in awe of this new relationship, accepts the kitten, too. It’s time to head home!

With the rain falling, they cross the street to get to the Yorkie’s house. The kitten must jump up a curb to reach the front porch. She struggles again, but the patient and already loyal dog waits for her again. He cheers her on as she uses all her might to climb up.

Now it’s time to get inside and warm up! But there’s another hurdle: the front porch has a step, and the doorway has a threshold. OY! The kitten has to climb again. The dog watches closely as the little cat successfully enters the house. The swoon-worthy video below will make your day. We promise! Don’t ya just love dogs?!
