Hen rears ducklings, dog rears piglet

Footage has emerged of a hen adopting a bunch of ducklings and a dog caring for a piglet. Chinese TV has shown the video of a dog carrying a piglet around the farm in its mouth. The piglet was one of a farrow of 13 pigs, but the mother couldn't produce enough milk. When the rest of the litter died, the surviving piglet received milk from the dog.



Meanwhile, in another province, a flock of ducklings have been adopted by a hen. She kept the eggs warm until they were ready to hatch. They now follow the hen around the farmyard.
