Meet Ruth (the cat) and Idgie (the dachshund). ...

When the two were found, abandoned at the end of a driveway in Florida last October, 2-year-old Idgie refused to leave 7-month-old Ruth's side, protectively barking whenever anyone came near his kitten friend.

Happy ending!!

Now, Idgie and Ruth have a forever home at the Hollywood Houndz Boutique & Spa, where owner Jacqueline Borum has adopted the friends. And Idgie is still protective of his pal: The two share a pen and whenever another dog approaches, the dachshund will stand between Ruth and the other dog and bark.

Great story since we were just talking about that poor Chihuahua here in California that was run over on purpose by an estranged husband trying to get back at his wife. Other dog disappeared and wife thinks he did the same thing. Saw part of the video on TV and have been extremely upset since.

Sometimes animals are far better “persons” than people are.
