Ask any German Shepherd kittens character and they’ll tell you that these incredibly intelligent pups need a task to do. They thrive on using not only their physical power but also their wildly intelligent brains, and if they’re not motivated both mentally and physically, they can end up sad and destructive. A German Shepherd was described by his owner as “hyperactive” until his mother dog had to take in kittens. Watch what happened when this gorgeous dog stepped in and took on babysitting duties.
This treasured video was shared by the TikTok account @Leo.tiger.nala, and people are completely swooning over it.
German Shepherds transform after taking in kittens
One person commented on what they think happened: “Sometimes they just need a person to focus their protective instincts on.” Another person replied: “A shepherd without a task is a wild card, but give that kid a reason and he’s a hit.” All the other characters answered, “Puppies make you more active and cheerful, cats make you calmer and more comfortable. Your dog officially becomes a cat lover…”
Tiger is an amazing dog. Not only is he very gentle and takes good care of his kittens, but he also provides them with comfort whenever they need it most. Those fur babies are just too adorable together.
Now, not all puppies will be as calm and affectionate as Tiger, but some puppies are okay with being cared for by other animals – it all depends on your dog’s temperament. However, one component that is characteristic of all dogs, especially German Shepherds, is that they need a lot of mental and physical stimulation to be happy and healthy. How to Keep a German Shepherd Happy
German Shepherd mom and German Shepherd foster mom Sara Hirschfeld explains, “The German Shepherd is a herding dog, so they are quite intelligent and lively, with a very strong work ethic. In addition to an hour or two of physical exercise a day, they also need plenty of intellectual stimulation. Puzzle toys, agility or obedience training, and hide-and-seek activities provide tremendous physical and mental exertion and can prevent a Shepherd from picking up compulsive or negative behavior.”
Or, you can always let them take care of their pack of kitties!
Seriously, give your Shepherd plenty of exercise, play with them, teach them to learn new tricks and obedience tips, and take them on regular walks. This can keep them happy and healthy and make them an excellent companion for all the years to come.
