It's amazing....I couldn't believe it myself and I saw it!

This is one of those amazing AWWWW moments that you can't believe unless you're the one who saw it! And I find it amazing and I saw it. Little Bit is 19 years old and has lived with me for the past 7 years. I received him from a mini dachshund breeder as a gift when I had to give up my rottweiler. Bitty and his friend Monica have lived a wonderful life with me, but unfortunately in 2009 Monica passed over the rainbow bridge. Bitty missed his companion so I got him C.D., another mini dachshund. As time has passed, Bitty lost his sight. He can make out shapes but that is about it. He manages well in familiar surroundings but when he comes in from outside or if he is in strange areas he becomes lost and confused. Each morning they go outside (Bitty and C.D.) to do their business and to get some fresh air. Bitty has been getting along outside really well, which baffled me. Today I found out how he has been doing it. I called the dogs to come in, and C.D. came racing, but Bitty stayed by the fence, where my semi feral cat Ralphie was laying. I kept calling, but Bitty wouldn't come. He would look this way but he wouldn't come. C.D. went racing to get his buddy, but Bitty still wouldn't move. Finally, Ralphie stood up and walked under Bitty's nose. Then Ralphie started towards the house, with his tail touching Bitty's nose. This time Bitty started walking towards the house. If Ralphie's tail didn't touch Bitty's nose, Bitty would stop. He wouldn't start towards the house again until Ralphie's tail was touching his nose. Ralphie, who only tolerates the dogs, walked patiently with Bitty behind him, until they reached the doorway and I could take over the "guide cat" duties. I had seen Ralphie with Bitty each day, walking with him and staying at his side, but I didn't think much about it until today when Ralphie showed that he actually was acting as a "Guide Cat" for my poor blind little guy. I am in total awe as Ralphie really wasn't trained to do such a job, and he has no reason to be so caring towards a dog, but there was this wonderful black cat taking care of what would normally be a sworn enemy and making sure that he could get around like he used to be able to do. When they got to the door, Little Bit turned towards Ralphie and nuzzled him gently as if to say "Thank You!" Have you had something amazing happen between your dogs and cats?
