When A Dog That Was Raised Around Cats Is Petted He Purrs

Meet Winston, a loving puppy that craves nothing more than his family’s undivided attention. And it’s obvious.

But possibly not in the way you imagine.

Since the moment Winston was adopted as a puppy into Beth Clark’s family, he’s been surrounded by cats. The Clarks rescue and foster cats, so Winston learned early and often what felines are all about.

“He joined six cats,” Clark told The Dodo. “They all bonded together in such a loving way.”

But Winston was inspired in an unexpected way by his time spent with cats.

Clark observed Winston make an unusual sound when she caressed him when he was approximately 4 months old.

He sighed. Like one of the felines.

“I was taken away at first,” Clark remarked. “However, I soon realized that what he was doing was a vocal display of satisfaction that he had picked up from his brothers!”

Winston continues to do it today:

Winston’s purring may be strange — he is, after all, a dog — but it is nonetheless music to his mother’s ears. She’s just relieved that he’s content.

His feline siblings would undoubtedly agree.

“It demonstrates that the ability to communicate love and affection transcends even the most evident distinctions between species!” Clark said.
