Jacob the cat thinks he is a dog, and his mother is a big husky who was found homeless, nursing 5 puppies and him despite a broken leg.
According to USAToday, “the Edmonton Humane Society named the mother dog Esperanza (Ezzy for short), which stands for hope… No one knows how (Jacob) ended up with the mother and her pups.” The duo went through a lot together, and are totally inseparable today.
Amber and Vince Gunderson who have been their foster parents since Jan 5, watched them grow and the mama dog heal and couldn’t bear to part with them as time went by. A month ago, they formally adopted Jacob and Ezzy.
Jacob and Ezzy

All those pictures just melt my heart. thank you for giving them their forever home together. Blessings.
I found a tiny kitten in my garage that required bottle feeding for 2 weeks – my shihtzu got attached and would whimper when he couldn’t find the kitten – I have never owned an indoor cat before but couldn’t give up the kitten (Mac) – it would have broken Dusty’s heart! The two are inseperable and so much entertainment and joy for me! Win/Win for all!
