The maternal instinct is strong, not just among humans mothers and their kids. There is also a strong maternal instinct amongst animals to protect and care for the young, even ones that aren’t their own.

It’s a very touching thing to see when animals adopt little orphaned baby animals outside their species. It’s just proof that nothing will ever beat a mother’s need to nurture and protect.

In the streets of El-Hajeb, Morocco, the sweetest sight was captured on video.

A little stray kitten in need of a mother’s love happened upon a mother dog. Even though the little kitten was not her own, this dog didn’t hesitate to care for the kitten.

In the video, the dog sat patiently on the sidewalk as the kitten nursed from her.

The poor little feline was clearly hungry, and the mother dog didn’t seem in any rush to move him along.

Hopefully she adopted him as her own!

Watch the sweet interaction down in the video below:
