This makes me both happy and sad at the same time.

And it reminds me of my dog growing up. She was a cockapoo (cocker spaniel/Poodle mix). We also had a cat who wandered around the neighborhood. One day, she was outside, doing her thing. Our dog went batshit insane, barking up a storm. We went to the window to see what she was barking at, and four neighborhood dogs had surrounded our cat and were batting at her and attacking her. We ran to the door to go out and get her, and our little dog ran out there and started barking at the other dogs to get them away from her little kitty cat. She was snarling and growling and even nipped at one of them. (And the dogs were dobermans and german shepherds. Not small little wimpy cockapoos like her!)

Needless to say, we shooed away the other dogs, got our cat and dog inside safely, and were so proud of our dog for protecting her "sister" cat. It was the sweetest moment. After that, they'd take to napping with one another, something that they didn't do before that incident. :)
