Kochi, Nov 3 (ANI): In a bizarre incident a female dog named Minnu at the house of Mr. Narayanan in Kerala's remote village of Thiruvaniyoor near Kochi is nurturing three abandoned kittens which were found in a rubber farm a month ago.
A day after Minnu began to nurture by providing her own milk, the babies accepted the warmth of their new mother. The other dogs in the house also accepted the kittens and started to play with them after few days.
Mr. Narayanan, who earns his living with rubber tapping, and his wife are a passionate about animals and bring home anything they find abandoned in the farms.
Mr. Narayanan says that only because of Minnu the kittens survived, the dog loves the kittens so much that even they leave them unnoticed when she carries the kittens in her mouth and brings back to their resting place.
"It has accepted the kittens as her own kids and nurtures with all the care given by a cat to these kids. First when we got the kittens they had no hair and their eyes were not open so it takes utmost care, if any one goes away far then she bring them back to their rest place holding them in her jaws. For the past weeks the dog has given all her time to nurture these kittens if one go off she just picks her and brings back," said Narayanan.
"The dog has a different kind of attraction with all the pets in our house and in our family we also have the same kind of affection with animals so it is good I think," he added.
Although the family is very poor but still loves animals and have all types of pets like ducks, hens and goats apart from four dogs.
This poor family which barely has house and earnings to survive sets a good example of live and let other live. by Juhan Samuel(ANI)
