LONDON Sometimes, despite everything that gets said to the contrary, dogs and cats do get on well.
During a routine fetch session in the park with his owner Sharon Smith, the brilliantly named Vader stumbled across an abandoned crisp box and ended up saving the lives of a cat and her two kittens.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier alerted her owner to the box, which had been left in some bushes in a park in Middlesbrough, and the cats were quickly taken to the vet before being moved into the care of the RSPCA, according to a statement from the RSPCA.
"I had been throwing the ball for her, she went into the bushes to get it and I could see she was nudging a box and whining," said Smith. "I knew it must be something important because shed left her ball behind and shes crazy about her ball."
Smith said she noticed holes in the box and movement, so she decided to take it home with her.
...And here's the good boy!

Of note: The Staffordshire bull terrier is also referred to as a "pit bull".

The author of the news story goes back and forth on which pronouns to use but the dog's owner always says "she" and "her".
