Bertie is a Labrador dog. She is only one year old, but she has already shown her wonderful character to the world.
Bertie became famous on social media after her owners told her story.

‘These kittens have certainly been a handful, from the early days when they needed bottle feeding round the clock, to when they first discovered the joys of climbing. Not only has Bertie helped the kittens become confident, sociable little cats, he’s also kept me entertained.” Rachel said.

Bertie used to live at an animal rescue charity in Battersea. Then she was taken in by the head nurse at the town’s veterinary clinic, Rachel.
One day a passerby brought kittens to the clinic where Rachel worked. He found them in the street. The poor babies were small and would not have survived on their own without help. It was hard for them without their mother, protection, and food, and they were only about 2 weeks old, but they had already been orphaned. Rachel took the cubs home, and Bertie came to the help of her owner. As soon as the poor creatures came into the house, the dog immediately took care of them, replacing their mother.

Rachel added: “Hand rearing kittens is such a wonderfully rewarding experience. You get to help them grow from tiny defenceless babies into unique characters ready for a loving home. I was sad to see them go, but I can take comfort in knowing that Bertie and I helped give them the best start in life. I suspect Bertie may also have been enjoying the peace and quiet once his young charges had gone. He’d certainly earned it!”
