RENO, Nev. (AP) â?? You've heard of man bites dog. What about, dog saves cats? A two-year-old dog that had been turned over to the Nevada Humane Society's shelter in Reno is being credited with rescuing six abandoned kittens.

Shelter Director Diane Blankenburg said it happened Monday while the two-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix named Angel was on a walk with a pair of volunteers, Frank Gomez and his 9-year-old stepson, Joel Fontes.

They were walking on the hot day with temperatures in the 90s when the dog became obsessed with something in the bushes. When she refused to move on, Gomez investigated and discovered a box full of 3-week-old orange tabby kittens that were frightened and hungry.

One of the abandoned kittens escaped before shelter staff were summoned to the scene, but Angel tracked it down and Gomez handed it over to safety

I just love stuff like this!
Have a great day, Kathy

  That is a great story! If it wasn't for Angel, those poor kittens wouldn't of made it. Thanks for posting the story, I wasn't feeling quite well, but after reading that it put a smile to my face.

  Oh, that's great, Sugarkay! And look at your baby in your picture! What a beauty!
  I'm glad you're feeling better now. At any given time, none of us feel that great.
  Anything to bring a smile or a warm fuzzy is so nice.
  I needed it today too. That's why I wanted to share this article, because it did the same thing for me that it did for you!
  I'd love to just reach into your avatar and give that doggie a great big smooch.
