Best friends: Kitten Rosie is raised with a pack of huskies (Caters)

Meet the three-month-old kitten who thinks she’s a dog, after being rescued and ‘adopted’ by a husky.

Rosie was re-homed by three sisters, after their co-worker found her abandoned and living on the streets of California.

They paired her with one of their pet huskies, Lilo, who has raised the kitten as one of her own.

Now, the ‘kitten-husky cross’ sneaks dog food, follows her husky pals around the house and goes on walks with the pack.

Owner Thi Bui said: “The first night we got Rosie, she seemed ok but then her health went downhill all of a sudden - she rejected food and wouldn’t lift her head anymore.

"Her eyes became infected and shut closed. We were providing all the human care we could, but we realised she needed a mother. So we paired her with Lilo, one of our huskies.

"Amazingly, Lilo took on the motherhood role instantly, which was surprising because she has no pups of her own and was spayed the week before we got the kitten.

"Rosie’s health improved dramatically thanks to Lilo. She’s growing up thinking she’s a husky now and she even goes on walks with them!”

The kitten and husky duo play fight all of the time and have been inseparable since they met.

The owners and sister trio, which also includes Thoa and Tram Bui, own four cats, two huskies and two rabbits - all best friends.

Rosie often walks nearly two miles with her mother Lilo and her husky chums.

They now have over 41,000 followers on Instagram on their ‘Lilo the Husky’ page.
