German Shepherds are intelligent, tough, and loyal dogs. But they can also be affectionate, loving, and very compassionate. Tennyson the German Shepherd is living proof of how gentle this amazing breed really is. Tennyson, also known as Tenny, has a brand new sibling in the household – a tiny little kitten!
You might think having a big, strong German Shepherd around small, baby kitten is a bit dangerous. However, Tenny is here to show you that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. In fact, he wants to be the best big brother he could possibly be. In the video uploaded to YouTube, the little black and white kitten is being filmed while attempting to climb the stairs. At first, all you see is Tenny the German Shepherd because he’s standing over the tiny kitty. As mom films the kitten struggling up the stairs, she first shoos Tenny away, telling him to leave the kitten alone while they learn this new skill.
Tennyson obediently listens to mom and steps over the kitten and walks up a few stairs to let the tiny cat have a go. Shortly after the German Shepherd ascends a couple of stairs, the black and white furball slowly jumps and follows behind. Each stair is taller than the kitten’s entire body! “No, let him do it himself,” the mom says from behind the camera to Tenny. Tennyson intently watches the little cat as he gradually hops and climbs his way up each carpeted stair. You can tell by the look in his eye that he’s very eager to assist the tiny guy.
