The Beatles were right when they said that all you need is love. It's the power of love that can really make a difference in someone's life - including the lives of animals.

Phoebe the dog was a very scared and timid little pooch when she came into the care of her owner. But with a little love she adjusted, but she was still frightened of a lot of things - including cats.

But Phoebe ended up having to confront her fears when her owner took on some foster kittens, and the change was amazing! Phoebe went from being terrified of cats to becoming "the kitten nanny." Now, it's her turn to spread the love!

According to her story shared on TikTok, her owner stated, "To help her overcome her fear of cats, I started fostering kittens, thinking she'd be less nervous around little ones. She was still very scared of 5 week old kittens. We did a slow and positive introduction, and within a week, she decided she was going to be their momma dog. The transformation was incredible--from a growling dog to giving them her fluffy tummy to sleep in. She loves all the kittens differently, but equally."

Her owner then added that every dog "has a gift," meaning all canines come with a purpose in life.

As she said, "Some become working dogs, your personal comfort dog, your protector, or simply your best friend. Phoebe has found her calling as a nanny dog. This is one of the reasons I can't keep our foster kittens, even though I'd really want to...at least not for a while. Phoebe will help so many more kittens to be dog friendly cats and be adopted by wonderful families."
