A rottweiler named Molly in Welshpool, Wales, has been helping her owner to rear two baby lambs which went through a difficult birth. According to Maria Foster, a farmer, Molly took over as soon as the lambs were put into an Aga to keep them warm when their blood circulation needed to be kept going during the first 24 hours after birth.
Molly has since then, slept with the lambs to keep them warm and shielded the baby lambs from the house cat and the farmer’s sheep dog. The house cat is not allowed to come near the lambs and the sheep dog is only allowed to have a look before being pushed away.
