Huge dog grabs kitten with its teeth – but what happens next is a cuteness overload!
A new TikTok video looks ferocious for one young fur baby – but takes an unexpectedly heartwarming turn.
Rottweilers can be known to be a domineering breed of dog, and one with a lot of strength.
But Maggie proved otherwise.
"Rottweilers are vicious," her owner Marie Parkinson captioned a new video on TikTok. "I don't think so. Mine is so soft."
At first glance in the clip, it seems like an aggressive interaction is about to take place between the big pup and two cats.
Maggie the Rottweiler is seen with a larger cat and her baby kitten. Without hesitating, the dog buries her teeth into the baby cat's fur and carries it away from its mom.
Yet, it's noticeable that the kitten's mother does not protest the "kidnapping" at all. It seems as if she trusts the pup wholeheartedly.
Maggie then wraps her full mouth around the kitten and brings it to the couch nearby.
What is the four-legged friend up to?
Maggie just wants to cuddle!
The dog then does the surprising, which has melted the heart of animal lovers everywhere.
Maggie plops down on the couch and begins to lovingly lick the kitten.
The clip has been viewed over 5 million times, and has more than 10,000 comments.
"Cuteness overload!" wrote one commenter. "She has stolen the baby to cuddle."
"This just made my day," commented another. "The gentlest of giants."
The precious exchange proves that no matter how big, most dogs have a heart of gold.
