A Boston terrier dog from the South Carolina lowcountry surprised her petmom by adopting and nursing a litter of orphaned kittens.

Mount Pleasant resident Shannon Williams ended up caring for the litter of motherless kittens when her daughter found them in the woods behind their home. As soon as she saw the helpless babies, Shannon’s 5-year-old Boston Terrier Memory began nurturing and cuddling with the days-old kittens.
