Jordan, Minnesota, Sep 25: A Minnesota woman says she was shocked when her small dog began caring for an abandoned kitten, then started producing milk and nursing the fuzzy gray stray to health.






Pat Weber says the kitten was days old when her grandson found it in the family's barn in early September in Jordan, about 65 km southwest of Minneapolis.

She says the 2-inch -long kitten was "ice cold." But she felt it move, so she wrapped the kitten in a warm towel. Then it began meowing -- and her 4-year-old Pekingese perked up.

The tawny pooch named Mittens began licking the kitten, who nuzzled in and began suckling.

Mittens hadn't had puppies in two years, yet she eventually began producing milk. She's been nursing the kitten ever since.

Weber calls it a miracle.
