In Germany, Collie became the nurse of the little pig, which was threatened by death due to greedy sisters and brothers (video)

In Bavaria, Border Colly became the adoptive mother of a little pig,

In Germany, Border Colli named Molly became the nurse of the six -week Pig Rose, which was threatened with death, since her family brothers and sisters always pushed a weak rose during feeding - and she almost always remained hungry.

According to Deutsche Welle , the pig was born in a small circus in the Bavarian city of Immensstadt, the owner of which 68-year-old Diter the war found such an unusual exit from the current situation.

“I tried to go out, feeding her from the bottle, but the rose refused,” says Diter. And once he saw how the piglet got up to Collie, which fed his puppies.

According to veterinarians, the fact that the rose receives milk from the dog, and not from the pig, will not affect the health of the pig - nutrients in the dog milk, is quite enough for a small pig.

You don’t have much to really wean a rose from the molly nipple, since the piglets in the last week sometimes eats from a bottle with a nipple. So, when the collie decides to prevent a rose to itself, the pig will not remain hungry again.

Note that this news about a small hungry pig sounds especially touching for the Germans, since in Germany a pig is a symbol of happiness. There is even a museum of pigs, included in the Guinness Book of Records. In addition, the New Year of Pig came on the eastern calendar since February 5.

A venerable attitude to pigs was also reflected in German, in which the word "sau" ("pig") is often used to enhance the meaning of adjectives: "saukalt" ("pigs cold") or "sauheiß" ("lead hot"). There is a popular German proverb - "Schwein Gehabt", that is, "lead".
