Big Dog Meets Tiny Kitten For The First Time In North Carolina And His Reaction Is Priceless
Kayla, a proud dog owner from North Carolina, decided to introduce a new furry friend to her family – a tiny kitten named Boots.
She never imagined that this little ball of fur would completely surprise her large German Shepherd, Butter.
It’s hard to believe, right? You’d assume an 85-pound dog would be the one taking charge, but that’s not what happened at all.
Instead, Butter had a reaction to her new, tiny roommate that no one could have predicted.
When Kayla introduced Butter to her new kitten, she never expected the giant dog to react this way. Instead of warmly welcoming the one-pound fluffball, Butter was completely frightened!
The sight of the tiny kitten, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, had the big dog acting like the most nervous creature around.
Kayla captured the hilarious moment on video, showing Butter cautiously watching Boots, who seemed completely oblivious to the fear she was causing.
While the kitten confidently explored her new home, Butter, instead of investigating, inched closer to her owner for reassurance.
In the end, the large dog hid her face under Kayla’s arm, like a child trying to hide from a monster under the bed! What a sweet giant!
It’s hard to believe that something so small could leave a dog like Butter trembling like that.
It reminded me of another German shepherd who reacted similarly upon meeting a kitten for the first time. It seems like big dogs have the quirkiest reactions to tiny surprises!
Summing up Butter’s unexpected reaction, Kayla wrote in the caption of her TikTok video:
“She’s absolutely terrified.”

The clip quickly went viral on TikTok, and viewers wanted to know – did Butter ever warm up to Boots? Could they possibly become the best of friends, despite the rocky start?
In an update video, Kayla shared that while Butter and Boots weren’t exactly snuggling together just yet, some progress was being made, as she explained:
“One day later, and they still aren’t besties. But I think it’s progress.”

Now, it looks like Butter is slowly warming up to Boots. In a recent picture, you can see them eating from the same bowl, which I believe is a fantastic sign of their growing bond.
So, while Butter and Boots might not be best pals at this point, it seems they’re gradually learning to adjust to life as a team.
With each passing interaction, Butter and Boots are slowly learning to coexist, and Butter is beginning to realize that the kitten isn’t as scary as she first thought.
Take your time, Butter, you’ll get there!
After all, it’s not every day that a big German Shepherd has to figure out how to share her home with a tiny kitten.
