Orphaned kitten is nursed by local dog
A local golden retriever’s motherly instinct is going beyond her own species.
The dog named Honey hadn’t given birth in 18 months — but an orphaned kitten’s cries made her start producing milk.
“Two or three days later, she started lactating,” said Honey’s owner, Jimmy Martin. “She’s like a mother to this kitten.”
Martin’s wife, Kathy Martin, said her jaw dropped the first time she saw the kitten suckling from Honey.
“This is another species all together, not even a cat,” said Kathy. “I’ve heard of animals having litters and taking two, but never lactating because something new came in.”
