A wolfhound has adopted a young goat after its mother died in Tongzi county, Guizhou province.

The goat, which was raised in a nursing home, died a few days after it gave birth three months ago.

The elderly residents introduced it to a wolfhound that was nursing its own puppies. The wolfhound accepted the goat and breastfeeds it everyday.

The baby goat weighed 1 kg at birth and has since grown to 3 kg. The residents sometimes offer it milk powder and cereals.
