Everyone talks about potato and corbin but this lady is a real gem as she has fostered 150 kittens 😸
She sure is! 💎
I couldn't do her job because I wouldn't want to EVER give them away. I would want to keep them all. 😂😂😂😂
Couldn't agree more!! Potato is a riot, Corbin is a beautiful, gentle giant and Karen is one of those true angels on earth. A lot of people talk the talk, but someone like Karen walks the walk. God bless her for all she does to give so many animals in need good homes. Cheers Padmaakrishna and Karen!!

Corbin and Potato should have a children's book written about them. They're adorable.
Absolutely. The Adventures of Corbin and Potato
What a great idea! That would be perfect!! 👍
That would be amazing!

Corbin’s tongue is bigger than the entirety of Potato. How absolutely adorable. Great story.💕
You Understand my Idea of Cute
Fastest bath in history. Left-side, Right-side, Topside, Underside, Frontside, and Backside....
@@petert3355Wouldn't the dog licking make the kitten's fur sticky and gross?
@@zukini8763 Nope, just the same as a momma cats tongue doing the job. Just quicker.
I was once walking our family's big 100 pound Golden Retriever. The dog spotted a little girl, like 4, ran over and licked that 4 year old's face from chin to forehead like it was a cartoon. That dog's tongue covered that baby's entire face. The lick was so gigantic it knocked the baby over and I had to get out of Dodge before the mom showed up.
Fostered over 150 kittens. Good for you, that’s quite the accomplishment. Thanks for doing what you do.💕
In the beginning, Corbin's toenails were almost as big as Potato. God bless Karen for fostering over 100 kittens, along with Corbin.

@@k.m.223 Yes K. M. You're right! Big dogs are so gentle aren't they? The one and only time I ever got bitten by a dog, it was a nasty, little yappy thing that came out of nowhere, I mean I hadn't even seen it, let alone tried to pat it, I was just walking down the street, and it bit me, the little sh*t!!! 😆😅 I was like "What the f**k was that"??? I can't stand those nasty little...ahem, things. Give me a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or a Doberman any day of the week! (And if you tell my little terrier I said that, I'll deny it!!!)
When Corbin was cleaning potato, he literally flipped over with his tongue, lol!
The bond between Corbin and Potato is so strong so there is no way she would let go of Potato and I'm sure Corbin would agree. One foster fail out of the rest getting adopted is a great track record and she has lots of room to foster more and besides Potato is the boss and I'm sure if she gets more kittens to foster, Potato will be there to help.
My thoughts exactly! Corbin and Potato would miss each other too much and now Corbin has a helper who can teach new fosters how to 'cat.'
I agree with most of what you said. I wouldn't call potato a "foster fail". The point of fostering is to find them homes, and potato found his. It's a win all the way around.
It's so cool how adult dogs just know the need to be gentle around babies. No matter what breed the are.
Greetings from here to you friend
If they are raised right. I have sadly seen a few stories where large dogs have mutilated kittens as well, whether intentionally or not.
@@paul16451 Yeah, that is very important too. I forget there are a lot of terrible pet parents out there who have no business even owning a pet.
@@paulgerhard2753 Hello friend. =)
When a dog's parental instincts kick in they subconsciously set their mussel to the lowest strength they need for a task ie almost nothing when playing but absolute maximum when running to protect
Corbin's tongue is twice the size of Potato. So cute!!
WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! Let me get this perfectly straight: You comment something that is completely unrelated to the fact that I have two HAZARDOUSLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest KZheadr worldwide, it is really incredible. Yet you did not mention it at all. I am VERY disappointed, dear n

My brother has two Great Danes and they are very gentle, "The Gentle Giant", and are very protective of the cat, Dandy. She sits on the seat of his exercise bike often and swats the Dane's read ends, but without her claws extended, as they pass by, just to let them know who's boss. She was there first.
Hello pleasure to have you here.
I know ppl never talk about it but thia is actually a good example of paternal instinct yep dads have instincts too
I don't know why it's so cute seeing a large dog taking care of a kitten, but I can't get enough of this cuteness!🐱🐶😍
It’s my weakness 😻😻
Jesus is right
We need cuteness these days; that’s for sure.
I’m imagining Potato going outside for fun (once he’s bigger) and mom yelling, “POTATO” all around the neighborhood to call him home. 🥔 Cutest spud ever! 🖤🐾
What people are giving LIKES to obvious SPAM?? What is wrong with you people???
I too have/had some rather funny names for my cats over the years: Hunka Hunka, Harry Mitts, Tater Tot, Teeny Tiny, Lil Bit, Pip, Schnooky, Sassy Pants, Hop Along, Bo(Bodacious) Ziggy, Zilla(Godzilla),Tripod, Houdini, Hoover, Bobby Cat, Bruiser, Bruce, Biggy Piggy, Guppy, Babay, G.W.-gray & white - after a while you have a hard time coming up with a name . . . and MANY more. P.S. Oh, yes, one of my very earliest cats was Rau, aka as Rauzenheimer. When I call the cats for chow, I'm quite sure the neighbors are probably saying "there's that crazy neighbor again" and laughing their heads off.
@@timeforthinkers7418.
@@timeforthinkers7418 You deserve an award for the name Tripod alone!!! 👏 I love human names, like Stanley or Dave for cats.
@@amandajones6481 Sweet little Tripod was a 8-9 week old kitten I found with 1 of its hind legs wedged between 2 planks of a neighbor's fence. That precious fur baby had been there for a while struggling to free itself and had maggots in the wound made by his struggles. He bit completely through my thumb while I was trying to free him. I took him to the vet but unfortunately his leg couldn't be saved as the circulation had been impeded for too long. I brought him home and after a week or so he was showing some interest in my cats. Pretty soon he was racing around like nothing ever happened. I already had 7 cats and others in the household thought we had more than enough cats so to keep the peace I put a flyer up at the vet's office and the nicest young man & his girlfriend saw it when they took a dog they found in the road in to the vet to scan for a chip. From that I knew he was a good guy so I let him adopt Tripod. I've shed a lot of parting tears over the years when 1 of my babies leaves for a new home but I found it isn't fair to the animals when you have too many. You can't possibly give them the proper care they need or enough affection they deserve. However, I don't let just anyone have 1 of my fur babies. One of my greatest cats over all the years was a large long haired orange & white lover I named Simpson. I found him hiding in the bushes outside my house. He was about 5-6 months old and was positively endearing. He was Mr Personality, a real clown.
The paternal instincts are so strong in him, such a good surrogate daddy!
Exactly! I wish she would stop saying 'maternal' and attributing him to being a 'mother'.
The Dodo is teaching me that great Danes love kittens. Every person that fosters kittens with Great Danes has the same experience and it's absolutely beautiful to see how gentle and almost maternal those dogs can be around such small creatures
Anyone who has ever had a Great Dane knows how loving they are. I grew up with a GD that seriously thought she was our mom.
They are 150lbs of wonderful heartbreak! ❤️
... my sister and her hubby had one.... when they turn a corner they just keep turning and turning and turning ... ya big dog ...
Do you believe that your Great Dane would have had the courage to protect you against an intruder attacking you. Be honest. Or to confused to realize what is happening to you?
@@rickgarza1823 It depends on the dog but most of them are very sweet and even on the timid side. It is just their size that is intimidating. however any dog can get really angry if it feels threatened. my neighbor has a corgi that shoots me dirty looks every day.
Many years ago we had a huge black Dane and we had a pure black kitten like potato and Bo really loved him so much our kitten JD would curl up on him and sleep 😴 it looked like Bo had a big growth on his hip area they were buddies forever. That was in the early eighties. Thank You 🙏 for sharing. God Bless. 🙏🙏🌻🌻😊😊🌈🌈⭐️⭐️
They stay in our hearts, no matter the years! Glad you had Bo and JD as friends❤️
Anyone who has fostered that many kittens, along with raising these two muffins, is an absolute hero. Hats off to this lady, she is a special hooman.
He reminds me of my rescue cat, Chuti (also a tuxedo). She's just tiny, but has a huge personality and rules this entire house and everyone in it. We're all more than happy to ruled by her.
I as well have a female tuxedo (Spunky), who is "The Queen", "Her Majesty". She has zoomies daily, acting as though my house is a nascar track. She tries to be just like her brother Spooky, and they're great entertainment! Corbin and Potato are adorable! Animals are such complex creatures.
The kitten is as big as the dogs paw so cute
Potato will never grow into his personality, it is too big. You are so fortunate to have such a special helper as Corbin as well.
Potato is too cute! So happy Corbin adopted him. They're adorable together.
Corbin's tongue at the start, totally swamps Potato's whole head. I want one of those macrame swings for my cats, it looks awesome.
Our boxer/pit raised 3 kittens like this. Those were her babies and everyone knew it. Even after the kittens were grown they would go up to her and flop over on their backs to let her groom them. To this day those cats act more like dogs than cats, they will walk down the street with you just like a dog and they will run to windows if they heard something.
Mine too. They both chase other cats out of the yard together. I think Tigerlily thinks she’s a dog and Abbey thinks so too. When I brought Tigerlily home her eyes weren’t even open. Abbey was mom right away. We just fed her.
Aww such a sweet story
Cats will walk with their humans, chase off intruders and keep a constant eye on their domain without being raised with dogs
@@mariag.8242 not most
@@majdijones587 I was raised with multiple dogs. Never once a dog. Not one! But when I was 55 my son brought home a cat who unknown to either of us was pregnant. But suddenly had 8 kittens. Oh was I mad. I had forbidden him to keep that cat in my home. He won the argument, but when it had unexpectedly gave birth to 8 kitty's of hers I put my foot down. However I soon fell in love with each one, with distinctive personalities. As well as my service dog, given to me by the Veteran's Administration. They filled my heart ❤with the most wonderful joy I've ever experienced.
Great to be spoiled with heart warming videos like these on a daily basis!!
I think it’s paternal instinct, dads can have empathy too. Good Corbin, good daddy doggo
I KNEW you were going to keep him! What a great cat and wow the relationship he has with your Great Dane is amazing! Over 150 fosters? Holy cow! Truly a lifesaver, wonderful person.
Never a dull moment in that house.
I'm so Happy you adopted him!! He definitely is a member of your family ☺️
Kudos to all involved - very precious relationship between Corbin and Potato ! But also much credit to small dog George and many thanks to kind lady for not letting adorable Potato go! He was meant to be part of this family. Sending lots of love to all!!!!
So wonderful little Potato got his home and Corbin gets to stay with little guy.😁
There is no way I could foster a animal, because I could never hand them over to another person.
That's the hardest part of fostering It's saying goodbye
As a years long foster failure I can relate 😂😂👍 I had the chance to keep in touch with new furbabies parents Got follow up pics and videos which helped curbing the anxiety of parting with them
It's hard but you do it. The more I keep, the less I can save.
I know that that's hard to do but that's why you Forster. They in the end find a home that will Love them as did you love
I was so relieved that you kept him
Hello friend how are you doing today
... some times you just bond and know ....you should never go ...
animals who are nice to eachother even though theyre different (like in zoos they have emotional support dogs for some big cats) its so sweet
Yeah. I watch "The Dodo" before I go to bed because it makes me feel good to know there are dogs like Corbin and folks like you in the world. Thanks for being a human being.
Potato is such a great name for a cat! What a cutie.
Well, I got my heart warmed up for the day. Thanks, Corbin, Potato, Karen, & George! This was so sweet and uplifting. Karen, you have such a good heart. I do TNR and have had many kittens/cats come through my home as well, but not 150! That's VERY IMPRESSIVE! Good for you. Bless you & keep up the good work.
Only love to compassionate souls like you who are actually making this world a better place for lovable furry creatures.
It's amazing to see that giant dog be so protective and gentle 😍 Corbin needs a cape because he's a super dog! ❤️🥇
So sweet, you can see the communication of animals clearly here. This is a bond for lifelong understanding of one another 😍😍🥰
Me: There's no cute potats Potato: _looks at camera_ Me: *_DIES OF CUTENESS OVERLOAD_*
That must be such a beautiful experience watching these 3 together. Luv the hanging kitty swing
I don't think potatoe could live without his friends he's made since day one. They're his family he'd be lost without them how precious to see these little souls come to life thank you for your work
God bless you Karen for taking care of potatoe. Glad you kept him with your family.💙
I've always loved potatoes, now I REALLY love them.
Ten years ago I had a dog that was so mistreated find his way to my door and to my heart. I nursed him back to health and had him for 8! Years. One snowy icey night he ran out at midnight to go potty and came back with a freezing cold kitten. He repeated that 4 yes and brought everyone in. We found the mom out front hit by a plow truck. He took care of them and pretty much raised then and when we gave them away he cried! Greatest dog ever
God bless this lady for fostering 150 kittens.
Great Danes are sweet. Cool video.
Dude, I will DEFINITELLY call my next kitten Potato. I don't know how I didn't even think about it before, it's the best name I've ever heard.
Bless Karen for fostering 150 kittens over the years 🥺😍❤️🙏🏻
Love how gentle Corbin is! Potato is right where he belongs. And a special thanks to the foster mom 💖
Seeing more and more of these Dog/Cat stories is great! Dogs and Cats are meant to get along!
What a beautiful, gentle, kind and caring parent Corbin is to the hugely vulnerable, tiny Potato! Whilst they're physically opposites, they're perfectly matched in caregiver and recipient. Tiny Potato couldn't have asked for a more attentive canine Parent and caregiver, he's recieved all the love, care and attention he needed from his giant companion. What a joyous life your animals have, you are a wonderful person, thank you for sharing your beautiful animal family. Edited to add that Corbin needs to be so big to fit in his giant, love filled heart!
I LOVE Foster Fails. Corbin & Potato are adorable together. GOD BLESS!
2 beautiful sweethearts, bless you for keeping potato.🥰😍🖤🤍💛

Great Danes are the most sweet and smart dogs.I grew up with one from 4 to 16 . I'm 51 today and i still remember his heat while sleeping against him, his patience while playing He was my best friend Keros.....Thanks for all ❤

Oh my goodness they are so cute 😍
No matter the creature; if they see a helpless baby animal, they must protect it.
Thank you to the people that foster animals!
AWWWWWW I LOVE THIS
Surprised he hasn’t become a mashed Potato from all that great weight! 😊
No, by comparison to Corbin, he looks like a French fry!
Haha!
I’ve had a lot of dogs over the years and my biggest boy was the absolute sweetest with babies of all kinds. A kindred spirit to big beautiful Corbin.
It’s so lovely and amazing that this kind lady has fostered 150 kittens. A true hero🧡
our adopted kitty is a spoiled boi !!
Strange cat: "My dad could kick your dad's butt!" Potato: "LOL OK."
The size difference is incredible.
Thank you for keeping them together.
Three of them are just so cute n adorable 💗
Aww, sooo cute! I’d really like to see an update on potato when he’s a bit older. He’s so cute with Corbin. I’m so glad potato has a good home 😍🐈⬛🐾

Hello dear, how are you doing?
Thank you for all the love you have spread about, with all the foster kittens you have had over the years. Thanks also for sharing this video with us. A special bond there.
100 foster kittens, big respect! 🥰👌🏼🙏🏻🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
So sweet! Where in the world did you get that macrame hanging perch thingy? I love that!!
Good 😊 morning
I was eyeing it, too!
"Maternal instinct" "Him". That's not how it works. It is paternal instinct.
And yes. Saying that in nature males aren’t usually protective of offspring is definitely me calling human males bad or neglectful because we’re exactly like dogs. Humans may as well be dogs, that’s how it is now if calling a male dog “maternal” in nature is an affront to both dog and man.
@@SomeOne-vf1rs Your politics have completely caused you to lose your bearings. Get well soon. It is still paternal and not maternal. Words matter. Language matters.
Neal M One of us is projecting their politics onto a dog. The other is explaining how stupid that is. Get well at any time.
Neal M Also what politics? If I were adamantly left wouldn’t I try to be ignoring or doing away with perceived gender roles? Other people I’ve argued with over this seem right leaning, so I assume you are but just.... don’t connect these dots, just like the others didn’t.
Neal M Maybe it’s too much to expect logical thought from somebody who jumps to defend the masculinity of a dog... oh, I mean, correct somebody’s use of language. Too bad you don’t understand it yourself.
Now that is a lovely story. Thank You for sharing.
I hate the fact they keep saying “Maternal” or “Surrogate mother”… put some respect on Fathers and just say FATHER!!!
Wonderful people who foster and care for GOD'S little creatures. We can not Thank You enough. GOD bless you.
You are top notch my dear with all the helping and thank you
We have a german shephard mix and she took care of 3 kittens and now they are best buddies :D It is so lovely to see Potato to have a friend like that!
Surrogate father, not mother
