A hungry kitten in Greece has made an unlikely friend.

The cat was seen last month being fed by a female dog that had just given birth to her own pups.

Heart touching video shows the tiny feline, looking on the brink of starvation, clasping to the Mummy dog's teet, drinking her milk.

The dog wags her tail, appearing very happy to feed a new little one, especially one so hungry. 

The dinner date between the kitten and dog is said to have taken place on July, 25 of this year in Lamia, Greece.

According to the person who took the video, the kitten had been abandoned and left to die. 

They said: 'When I opened the trash can, I saw a newborn kitten tied inside a bag, hopelessly "mewing" for help due to some irresponsible being, who had abandoned it there for a tragic death. 

'I took it out and the neighborhood dog that had just given birth kindly let it nurse.'

The person behind the camera pets the dog lovingly, taken aback by the kindness of strangers.  

They said: 'Nature fortunately made it so that animals are kinder compared to man.' 

It is not known what happened to the kitten, or whether the dog decided to fully adopt it into her litter.
