Love of animals
Outcast baby sheep finds dog as replacement for dad
Not accepted by the mother, but even more so by the adoptive father: this baby sheep and “his” dog have spontaneously found their very own family model.
Sad but true: time and again, mothers repudiate their offspring, even with incredibly cute baby sheep. For the children themselves, this is a death sentence in the wild, and on a farm it is often a challenge to look after an animal whose mother has abandoned it. But every now and then there is also a small miracle: In northern Germany a dog has now accepted the role of surrogate father and takes care of its little sheep protégé.
Dog or sheep? The main thing is parenting love
Both animals are lovingly taking on their new roles, and you can see how happy the baby is to be able to cuddle with his “dad”. Unfortunately, there is one important point where the dog cannot replace the real mom – in the video you can see what it is about and which good replacement solution has been found.
