A yellow lab named Reagan brought quite the surprise home to its owner a little over 3 months ago. Reagan found a bag of Meow Mix on the side of a country road in Iowa. The bag was sealed and had been run over by the local traffic.

Reagan gave its owner the bag and whined until she opened it. Reagan’s owner was shocked when she did open it. There were two kittens barely alive covered in the remains of the rest of the kittens from the litter that did not survive. The owner promptly called the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.

“It was gruesome, quite gruesome because the kittens; there was a litter of 4 or 5 of them and you couldn’t tell if there were 2 or 3 in the bag because they had been run over by a vehicle. It was not a pretty sight,” says Linda Blakely of the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.

The kittens, now named Skipper and Tipper, survived thanks to their hero, Reagan and the great fostering done by the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary. “The instinct of the dog was to nurture and not kill the kittens. With all the blood some dogs would have responded to the scent. Reagan the dog is a hero,” says Blakely.

Skipper and Tipper, known as the “bag” kittens, are ready for adoption.
