This is the heartwarming moment a dog comforted a rescue kitten taking a bath by affectionately stroking his head with her paw.

Veterinary technician Stephanie Vice, 36, said her five-year-old Bloodhound Ruby Jane has been extremely affectionate towards the 107 rescue kittens that she and her husband Matthew, 47, have fostered in the last five years at their house in Lakeland, Florida.

Stephanie captured the adorable moment Ruby Jane comforted four-week-old kitten, Bodie, a newly-rescued American Wirehair, by gently patting him on the head as he was taking a bath in the kitchen sink.

Ruby Jane stands on her hind legs and peers over the sink where the American Wirehair cat is perched in a plastic tub filled with water.

As Ruby Jane strokes the kitten Stephanie says: 'Is that your baby Jane? Is that your baby - are you trying to pat her?

'Say its okay little cat its just a bath, its okay.'

The heart-warming video was posted by Stephanie on social media, and immediately went viral by reaching over eight million views.

Stephanie said: 'Ruby Jane is a very playful dog and is very good with all of the foster kittens.

'In particular, she has become very fond of Bodie since we brought him home.'

Stephanie said she brought Bodie and his two siblings home from a local SPCA to foster them until they are ready to be put up for adoption.

Stephanie said: 'These three kittens make 107 rescue animals that I have fostered in the last five years.

'Ruby Jane is also a rescue, she was brought to me by a friend as I was mourning the loss of my previous Bloodhound.'

Adorable! I almost got a Bloodhound once. We visited two breeders and decided on another Basset Hound. They would bring home bunnies unharmed😍
