Halt! Who goes there? The moment retired military dog met a kitten for the first time



Chef the retired military dog met a kitten for the first time and the Internet almost melted down with the cuteness of it all.



The adorable meeting was captured by his owner Louise Vaughan and uploaded onto YouTube last month and so far has garnered almost 600,000 views.



Responding to the interloper in the house as if the kitten is there to be investigated, Chef seems perplexed at first by the white, fluffy cat, but then proceeds to poke and prod until the two seem to form a friendship of sorts.
