I got my wife a kitten for Christmas:

Our dog Pedro thinks that the kitten is his pet and hasn't stopped hovering over it for the past 6 days:

In fact, he only eats when the kitten does:

The kitten quickly figured out that Pedro is afraid of this baby-gate (it tipped over on him once when he tried to climb over it), so he crawls underneath it when he needs a break from the constant dog-mothering.
