Dog Makes Unexpected Find In Box & Is Now Being Hailed A Hero
Sometimes, despite everything that gets said to the contrary, dogs and cats doget on well.
During a routine fetch session in the park with his owner Sharon Smith, the brilliantly named Vader stumbled across an abandoned crisp box and ended up saving the lives of a cat and her two kittens.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier alerted her owner to the box, which had been left in some bushes in a park in Middlesbrough, and the cats were quickly taken to the vet before being moved into the care of the RSPCA, according to a statement from the RSPCA.

“I had been throwing the ball for her, she went into the bushes to get it and I could see she was nudging a box and whining,” said Smith. “I knew it must be something important because she’d left her ball behind and she’s crazy about her ball.”
“When I pulled off the tape and opened the box I saw the cat and kittens inside and I was shocked,” she continued. “They were terrified. It was a small box for them, it was just heartbreaking.
“It’s disgusting that anyone would dump them like that. It’s absolutely appalling.”
The kittens are believed to be around 8 weeks old, and their mother is thought to be between 1 and 2 years.
