CALGARY – A morning stop at a dog park turned into quite a rescue mission for Adeline Maxim and her four-legged friend, Fritz.
The big Bernese Mountain dog started pulling her into the bush during a recent visit to a dog park near 64 Avenue and Deerfoot Trail in northeast Calgary.
Fritz had discovered three tiny kittens, maybe six weeks old, abandoned underneath a tree.
Maxim took them home, found adoptive families for two of them, and kept one, which she’s named Bernard.
Adeline says Fritz couldn’t be happier to have Bernard as part of the family.
“He’s like his baby,” said Maxim. “It’s like it’s his kitten, and no one’s going to take it away from him.”
Fritz may have picked up his helping ways from Maxim; she’d already rescued four kittens, taking home one of them after seeing the tiny animal tossed out of a vehicle driving along McKnight Boulevard.
“If we were fortunate enough to find another little animal, we would find a new home for it.”
