Today I read such a sweet story of this spaniel named Sophie adopting baby owl. Bramble has been one lucky owl. They both met at a rescue centre. Sophie gives Bramble daily wash; she keeps licking her.
Sharon Bindon, 43, who runs the centre at Liskeard, Cornwall, said, “When Bramble arrived she had no feathers and had to be kept in the house. On her first day Sophie cleaned her as they sat on the settee. " It is said that now Bramble has the cleanest beak & feathers.

Again these kinds of stories come in the newspapers every now & then. Once I saw this photo of 2 strays (one was a cat & the other dog); they were called Bahadur & Lalu. Even they were inseparable & great buddies.
In 2002, a lioness in Kenya adopted baby oryx. She used to protect him from other predators just like a real mom. They used to walk & rest together & she even allowed the mother to feed baby oryx. However, this story has a sad end. She looked after the baby for 2 weeks. When they went to the river, the lioness felt asleep & during that while, another lion killed the baby. Although the lioness roared at him & she was really angry but the baby was killed.
“Local people in Kenya named the lioness Kamunyak, which means “the blessed one” in the local Samburu language. Since then she has cared for five more young Oryxes, but none lives longer than a week and the last escaped back to it's mother. Kamunyak was last sighted in February 2003, and despite a number of searches, she has not been spotted again. Her story was recorded by Saba Douglas-Hamilton and her sister, Dudu, between January 2002 - August 2003. Their film, Heart of a Lioness, was shown on the BBC and Animal Planet. This a powerful message for us all to fight racism. If an animal can overcome her hunger and instinct to protect, imagine what we humans can do, if we really wants to.”
There have been cases in which animals feed the babies of other animals who are being abandoned. Animals are indeed very cool creatures & humans can learn a lot from them.
