Titus Was A Tiny Kitten When He And 2 Siblings Were Abandoned In The Deep Snow. A Stray Dog Kept Them Safe And Warm By Lying On Top Of Them Until The Kittens Were Rescued. The Dog Was Too Afraid Of Humans To Allow Itself To Be Caught. It's Been 10 Years And I Still Think About That Dog. I'm Very Grateful
