Guide dogs are there to provide all sorts of assistance called for. One of the most common being โseeing eyeโ dogs, meaning that these canines are specifically trained to lead and help blind or visually impaired people. It takes a long time to become a service dog which means these trained pups are quite special.
But what happens when itโs the dog thatโs blind?
No, they donโt exactly get trained human guides though there are people who would love to take care of a handicapped dog. This is Bruce. He is diabetic and as a result went blind. This sweet loving dog has to rely on his nose and ears to get around.
And Jim the cat figured that out.
Jim took it upon himself to be Bruceโs guide, leading the dog out into the yard where they sometimes play hide and go seek. Itโs great that Jim does so as most blind animals develop dementia.
Forget about the age old rivalry. Jim could care less about their breedโs histories. As far as heโs concerned, Bruce is his bestest best bud and he will be there for him every single day. He doesnโt mind spending this lifetime with Bruce. Heโs got nine anyway.
And how about when theyโre not outside playing?
Well they share a comfortable space where Bruce can lay down as Jim stays by his side to make sure his dog pal is all snug and warm. Bruce may have a lovely blue sweater but itโs this compassionate cat heโd rather have to warm his heart.
Bruce lays down to rest a bit and as he does so, Jim lays a gentle paw on Bruceโs head and proceeds to lick his buddyโs head with so much affection. Makes you want to call your best friend right now, huh?
Bruce must have fallen asleep in an instant.
This is the new TLC. Weโre saying Tender Loving Cat and tell us you donโt want one of your own. This also goes beyond an adorable act of affection. Jim seems to be grooming Bruce. In cat speak, this dog is now part of the group. It leaves Jimโs scent on the dogโs fur, sort of marking him as his own in a way. Which means heโs got Bruceโs back.
Thatโs a cool cat.
For Bruce, this is pure love. He so obviously trusts his cat buddy judging by the way he easily dozes off letting Jim stay beside him. Bruce knows heโs not alone even though he canโt see. It takes a special kind of bond. He has faith in his friend.
โTwo beautiful animals. The cat washing the dog is so sweet, he loves the puppy and has claimed him for his own.โ

Itโs moments like these when humans are put to shame with all their selfishness and greed. Thatโs not to say that there arenโt kind souls who care for others, but with so many people out there youโd expect more from humans. Take a hint from Jim.
This is one beautiful friendship. A catโs simple act of caring for a blind dog may just be what this world needs to see. Hopefully, Jim and Bruce can inspire others to love and care for the less fortunate and the needy.
This is one friendship youโll want to see for yourself! Click on the video below for Jim and Bruce!
