A cat named DeeOhGee (like the letters D-O-G) is helping to train assistance dogs at a not-for-profit organisation in the USA.

The director of canine services said that the cat’s function is to get all of their service dogs used to being around a cat and to be OK with it because a lot of people have cats.

DeeOhGee has lived up to his name – he thinks that he is a dog who prefers to eat with the dogs than his own cat food. He is also fearless – he runs up to any dog and bats him across the face or plays with his tail.

Difficult words: canine (a dog), bat (hit).
