Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Dog 'adopts' nine orphaned ducklings at Essex
castle
A dad looks after his kids for their mom is
no new news. But if a male dog does it for a mother duck is a different story. Fred,
a ten-year-old male Labrador, suddenly but voluntarily became a temporary stepfather
of nine stranded ducklings when their mother mysteriously disappeared from Mountfitchet
Castle, a tourist attraction in Essex in the southeast of England. The baby
birds are still too young to fend for themselves. They just follow wherever
Fred goes and sleep with him. They are even taken by Fred to the castle’s moat for
a swim.
Sadly, this adorable relationship will last
only for a few more weeks when those baby ducks grow and live by themselves.
Enjoy seeing the photos and video about this
unlikely relationship.
