Mom Breastfeeds Puppy to Protect Baby

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A woman in New Zealand says she is breastfeeding her pet puppy because she wants it to protect her baby daughter as they both grow up.

Kura Tumanako told the NZPA news agency Wednesday that she had started breastfeeding the Staffordshire bull terrier pup after her baby stopped taking her milk.

"I didn't want to waste it so I gave it to Honey Boy," she said.

According to NZPA, Tumanako said she had fed the dog twice a day for the past week but would probably wean it off in about six weeks' time. Her baby, now 2 months old, is on bottled milk.

"I wanted to raise it (the pup) with my baby," she said. "I wanted to bring it up with a baby. It will protect her as they grow up," said Tumanako, who lives in Hastings in New Zealand's North Island.

"He drinks more than the baby. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little bit ticklish."

Perhaps she wants to lose any weight she gained through pregnancy a bit quicker? That's about the only thing I can think of... as for being "sick", do you drink cow's milk?

I am a bit confused about how this will bring the child and dog closer together. IMO I see this as possibly causing some jelousy between the two. In the dogs mind this is its mother and the child is a sibling instead of a superior being that needs protecting. The mother seems to me to be the one that it would more readily protect. And unfortunatly it may end up seing the one it is supposed to protect as the predator who is getting more attention than it is from the mother.

I agree. Is that even safe for the puppy to drink? Could she at LEAST put the milk in a dang BOTTLE first?

Something's wrong with this one. :-2
