Tennessee - Tristan the Golden Retriever was on a mission to get his owner Aly's attention. When Aly figured out why her dog was so insistent, she also jumped into action. Together the two rescued a helpless kitten!

Tristan had been trying unsuccessfully to convince his human to come outside with him for an entire day.

Aly, who's got four big Golden Retrievers, thought nothing of her pooch's persistent nudging until Tristan refused to stop.

She was immediately glad she finally listened when Tristan led her to a helpless black kitten in the grass near the shed in her backyard.
