Oh this is just lovely
Zip, a three-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, has become very protective of the 13-day-old horse, whose mother died shortly after she was born.
Karla Swindle, 47, who runs S & K Quarter Horses in Fayette, Alabama, says Zip is acting just like the horse’s father, adding that he is ‘very loving towards her’. She said: ‘He licks and nuzzles her and he stays by her side the whole time, making sure she’s OK, he even sleeps next to her at night.‘He usually just looks at the horses and carries on walking, no interest, but he’s taken to this one so much, he lays on her and they rest their heads on each other.The foal, who is yet to be named, was born earlier this month, but nine days later her mother, a palomino colt, became so ill that she had to be euthanized.
