Lisa Gerken never imagined that her towering Great Dane, Winnie, known in the household for her unpredictable and sometimes aggressive behavior, would one day show such a tender side. When Lisa agreed to foster two tiny abandoned kittens, she was filled with hesitation and worry, unsure how her giant companion would react to the fragile newcomers. Winnie had a history of struggling to play gently with the family’s other pets, so the idea of introducing her to these delicate kittens felt like a risky and nerve wracking decision.
To everyone’s surprise, the Great Dane immediately embraced the kittens as if they were her own! Winnie’s attitude towards the little felines was unlike anything her owner had ever witnessed before. Lisa captured the sweetest moments on camera, showing the big dog gently watching over her new kitten friends. It was hard to believe that this was the same dog that once had problems being gentle!
As for the kittens, they appeared totally relaxed around Winnie in Lisa’s adorable video. Despite the huge size difference, the tiny kittens showed no fear of the Great Dane. They seemed comfortable being near the dog, whether it was during playtime or when they were napping together.
These kittens have truly had a life-changing effect on Winnie’s personality.
In another video, Lisa shared more details about their situation. She explained how her family had a tough time managing Winnie’s aggressive behavior toward the other pets in the house before the kittens came along. “So, when we saw this nurturing side of her with these two kittens, it just blew us away,” Lisa said.
Although Lisa is only fostering the kittens and they will eventually move on to a permanent home, she hopes to continue fostering more in the future. The impact these two kittens have had on Winnie has shown a whole new, loving side of her Great Dane.
