Whoever said that cats and dogs don’t get along has clearly never met Murray and his feline brothers. This sweet and gentle Golden Retriever grew up alongside a cat, his big brother named George, but the dog’s world briefly stopped turning when George unexpectedly passed away during what was supposed to be a routine dental procedure.
Murray and his family grieved the loss of their beloved orange cat while they brainstormed the perfect way to honor his memory. They felt that the right thing to do was to open their home and their hearts to a cat in need, especially since the Golden had always had a cat by his side. He was becoming so lonely!
Fortunately, Murray and his family learned about two special kittens in need of a home, and their special arrivals finally came home on July 13. The playful baby brothers could put a smile on anyone’s face, but the sweetest part about their arrival was watching Murray begin to heal.
@theveryguudbois Somehow, a broken heart starts to heal when you open it up to love again. These two good boys needed a home and we are so glad to give it to them. We want to honor our beloved George by giving these little guys a forever home. Welcome home, Ash and Oreo ❤️ #pets #animals #kitten #dogsoftiktok #catsoftiktok #goldenretriever #rescue #adoption
Welcome home, Oreo and Ash! They are such typical kittens, more concerned with sleeping and playing than with bonding gently with a new fur brother, but Murray adores them exactly as they are. Clearly, George helped to raise one loving, happy dog!
As wonderful as it is to see the kittens raising their family’s spirits, it’s still heartbreaking to think of George, who was lost too soon. “Animals hurting over the loss of their friends just hurts like nothing else does,” one commenter wrote. “They don’t fully understand, they just know they are gone. It not fair, these poor things!”
While George’s loss will always leave a hole in his family’s hearts, the love of other animal friends can help the pain heal into a scar, a memory, instead of a gaping wound. Ash and Oreo will never replace George, but they’re already helping their human and canine family members face each day with a smile.
@theveryguudbois Replying to @𝓜𝓲𝓪 🧚🏼♀️ They’ve gotten settled together pretty quickly 🥹
Just look at these besties! Murray learned a lot about being a supportive brother from George, and now he gets to pass along his wisdom to his little bros.
Whether they’re napping on the cool hardwood floor or chasing each other around the house, it’s safe to say that these fur brothers already share a bond like no other. How amazing is it to think that the adventure has only begun?
