Really amazing. I want to know how large this dog was, to somehow get a large baby all the way to her brood. Of course, they neither show a good pix nor give a description! She may be part Shepherd, or part scent hound, or all of the above, but I sure would like to know! I've had my own dog (not brooding, never did) adopt and "nurse" a tiny kitty, but I've not heard of dogs taking large beings on their own!

Hey Hair, where are you?

The dog was a better mother than the other bitch.

The dog instinctively knows what Obama chooses to not.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yeah, 14 yr olds stink at motherhood. They should stick to jump ropes and hopscotch.

Dog is GOD spelled backward for a reason.

Exactly.

The dog followed its God-given instinct.

My Maine Coon Brian rounded up a bunch of escaped chicks once and herded them back towards their pen.

[Kimmers]

I love Maine Coons !!!! I met one only once and I thought it was the coolest cat I have ever seen. He acted like a big old friendly dog....

My Grandmother had a saying for bad Mothers. The cat’s a better Mother than she is. She must of known something about dogs being good with babies.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Rhett said that to Scarlett in “Gone With the Wind”.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Well, now, but “HUND” is not “GOTT” spelled backwards.

[the OlLine Rebel]

You also never hear stories about cats attacking anyone...

Not a “saving a baby” story but I have one that starts meowing loudly when my blood sugar gets low and won’t stop until someone does something about it. It has woke me up several times when I had fallen asleep so yes cats can and do save people. :)

He was a great nurse-cat too. If anyone was sick, he would curl up to comfort them. When everyone was healthy, he was off about his own business, esxcept for the daily greeting. He’s been gone almost ten years now, and I still miss him dreadfully.

I wonder if you make funny noises or something. I have no idea what woke me up when my husband's blood sugar tanked Easter Sunday, but he sounded like he was having a nightmare, and then I couldn't wake him up at all. It was down to 33 before the ambulance got him to the hospital, and the doctor said if I hadn't woken up, he wouldn't have.
