That is just precious. Thanks for sharing this story and pictures.
One concern I have would be that the kittens will probably not have the good sense to be wary of strange dogs when they're older. People who adopt them will need to take extra care to keep them safely at home. Wouldn't it be funny if they learned to wag their tails?

I go to my petfood store tonite for dog food and there behind the counter is this pretty brindle pitbull/cattle dog mix nursing (and yes I said NURSING) 5 baby kittens. They are just getting their eyes open and she is the model of a good mother. She had one errant youngster that she kept picking up and putting back with the rest and it was just so cool to watch. Within hours of her owner getting these kittens, she started producing milk and has taken over for their mom in every way. They do have to supplement with a bottle. In this election year where everybody is so negative about everything it was just so nice to see this dog be so kind to another species. Take note!
