The feline uses his paws to help lead the pooch – who lost his sight years ago to cataracts – outside on walks. Their sweet relationship was first reported by the Daily Post of North Wales.

“The cat came here because that cat knew there was something different about the dog,” Godfrey-Brown says, adding that because of her recent surgery the pair are living at a nearby cattery run by a local woman named Anne Cragg. “They sleep together in the same basket and go for walks. Why can't people be as lovely as that?”
