Dog protects cat friend during thunderstorm

Sometimes, it is really easy to forget that real, true love exists out there.

This is one unlikely reminder.

Two animal friends, a cat and a dog, show this love during a scary thunderstorm.

Many pet owners know that cats and dogs are often inconsolable during storms.

Such was the case with a kitten belonging to Reddit user YungDemon.

The kitten, who had never experienced a storm before, became anxious when thunder rumbled and lightning struck near their California home.

'The cat 'is new to the world,' wrote YungDemon, 'so this was its first rain and thunder ever!'

Fortunately, the cat had a friend around to help.

When her owner got home, he found the Kitty tucked safely under the paw of his roommate's dog.

From the photos, the dog seems a little scared too but she selflessly puts her feline friend first.

At some point, the dog gets so scared, it starts to freak out, but all the while, she never removes the kitty from her protective hold.

This is quite strange but very heart warming.
