True Story About a Dog Suckling a Kitten

• Honey, a Golden Retriever rears Precious, a Kitten
• Tiger suckling piglets
• Hippo and the Tortoise

Honey (Golden Retriever) and Precious (Kitten)

A dog, or to be specific, a bitch named 'Honey' has taken a kitten to her bosom.  This true story started when the tiny kitten ran out in front of Jimmy Martin's truck in Stephen's City, Virginia.  Jimmy searched for the kitten's mother amongst the old tires at the Front Royal plant.  No luck. 

At first Jimmy and his wife Kathy tried to feed the kitten, who they named Precious, from a bottle.  No success.  At this point their golden retriever Honey took an interest in Precious.  Honey was so excited and attentive to the new kitten that she started lactating naturally after a few days.  It transpires that Honey had previously reared a litter of puppies, but that was over year before Precious appeared on the scene.

Equally importantly, the kitten took to her surrogate mother Honey.  Rearing tiny kittens can be difficult as they won't always take cows milk from a bottle.  Kathy summed up the situation by saying: "Precious really is precious. And Honey has really proved to be a honey."

Other Cross-Species Cases

Vets say that such cross-species rearing is uncommon.  However there have been other notable cases for example, a Tiger suckling piglets.

Also, while there was no suckling involved there was the interesting case of the baby Hippo and the Tortoise
