this pic reminds me of Zeus, my 200lb Blue Great Dane. He was a surrogate mother to a litter of 3 dwarfed kittens, they licked little bald patches all over his chest trying to nurse on him, he would just wince once in awhile in pain from the rawness, but let them do whatever they wanted, except for wander, if they left the dog/cat bed, he would go and pick them up in his mouth(a nose poking out one side of his jowls,a head out the other)and deposit them back in his bed.Yes my giant manly dog is a bit of a softie...
