Colleen Harrison and her family weren’t sure how their dogs would respond when they acquired a little cat called Casper. Normally, Minnie, their pittie, is the one who enjoys caring for little animals, but when their other dog, Rex, saw Casper, it was love at first sight.
Rex is much younger than Minnie and loves to play, and he and Casper have a very similar energy. They love to goof around and snuggle together all day long — and at first, whenever anyone else tried to play with the new kitten, too, Rex wasn’t too excited about it.
“At first, Rex was apprehensive of anyone approaching the kitten,” Harrison told The Dodo. “He guarded him like a lion.” With our kids, he’s the same way. Rex sits close by, whimpering for the kitten or our kids whenever they are out of sight or in a room he can’t get to.”
While Rex and Casper were curled up together, he would occasionally try to hide his kitten companion from the rest of the family, but Casper is far too wiggly to stay hidden for long.
Rex adores Casper so much that when he first met him, he refused to share him with anybody else. He’s starting to warm up to the notion now, as long as he can keep Casper to himself the majority of the time.
“Rex doesn’t mind others holding or playing with the kitten now, but he does keep an eye on him at all times,” Harrison said.
As soon as Rex and Casper met, they were immediately best friends for life, and the whole family is so excited to watch them grow up together.
