This video should have been age-restricted due to the extreme danger that German Shepherd was in.... To say nothing of the risk to the viewer because of the extreme Cuteness of those Kittens....
What a curious and beautiful beast Tiger appears to be. The first kitten he was "playing" with reacted like a human is supposed to react when being attacked by a grizzly bear. That is play dead. One kitten saw that and was like I'm out of here. Then after a gentle warning from Mom, kittens resumed playing. Finally, one of the kittens started playing pawsies with him. That is one brave kitten warrior. I love German shepherds. There used to be this in-home daycare center I went to when I was five with two German shepherds that allowed me to be part of their pack. It could be a figment of my imagination but I swear I remember they used to let me ride on them like a horse. I was a very skinny 5-year-old. Though as an adult, I'm not as accepted into the pack. I once was delivering milk to a residence and a German Shepherd made me fear for my life. Let's just say I was very thankful it was behind a large fence.
This remembers me when my big Maremmano-Mix was stalking a chicken in the garden... the hen escaped from her perch, and he was really curious, what this really is... After a few minutes the hen turned around and must have said something like "Why are you stalking me? Go away!" and he really went away... so cute. This was the day we opened the perch completely, because we were sure, he will not harm them. Now one of the hens is lying beside him most of the day when they rest. When I got my Border Collie Mex, we had a male cat Felix, an he didn't knew dogs... but Mex was a pub, an Felix surely thought, this is a kind of cat... nothing too bad to worry about. After a couple of weeks Felix realized: OMG! this is a dog! Got a big tail, and ran away After some minutes he came back and told anyone of us: You didn't see this, nothing happened, everything is fine! Every morning they had a ritual, that was for people who didn't know it really scary: Felix raised his head, and Mex took the head in his fangs and was "chewing" on it... Felix was purring like a machine when Mex did this... real friends.
