    A young dog in Qingdao, Shandong Province went on hunger strike recently after the kittens he had adopted were sent to live with other people.

    The one-year-old dog found four newborn kittens in a box near his owner Zhao’s fruit stall. His paternal instincts were aroused and he took them into his care, never leaving them for a minute.

    However, two of the kittens later died and the other two were give away to Zhao’s friends, which drove the dog into despair.

    He refused to eat until one of them was returned. When it was, the dog was clearly delighted and licked the kitten for hours on end.

    hmmmm, skimming yet again, huh?..:p
     
  11. no no, not skimming this time... the human mind sometimes does read the words, but does not process simple words like he or she at times.

    and this is proven by psychology lol

    IM SAFE -devil

    That's very sweet. I once saw a documentary on a gorilla who was depressed after her kitty friend passed away.
