Unusual but true: Labrador dog adopts baby ducklings

Labrador dog adopts baby ducklings

An old dog has become a stay-at-home dad for nine ducklings after their mother suddenly disappeared. The Labrador called Fred took the baby orphans under his paw after their mom vanished.

The 10-year-old pooch is the resident pet at Mountfitchet Castle near Stansted, Essex in Britain, where a member of staff found the lost siblings waddling around the battlements.
