Dogs are amazing creatures that possess a great deal of love and compassion! In fact, animals have the potential to exhibit more care than humans ever could. Meet Katjinga, a Rhodesian Ridgeback breed dog, and Paulinchen, a sweet little two-week-old piglet who lost her mother but was lucky enough to be taken in by Katjinga. Without hesitation, the dog stepped up to care for Paulinchen and treated her as one of her own pups. It was love at first sight for Katjinga, and she made a vow to protect the little pig’s life at all costs. The two would often curl up together, showing no concern for their species differences, forming a unique bond between them. Katjinga even nursed Paulinchen like her own offspring. Truly, animals can possess an extraordinary amount of compassion that often surpasses that of humans.
A sprawling 20-acre pasture in Hoerstel, Germany is home to two adorable creatures – a tiny sow named Katjinga and her adoptive parents, Roland Adam (54) and Edit Adam (44). Roland stumbled upon Katjinga when she was just a newborn, abandoned and barely alive after being separated from her family. Since then, the Adams have taken her under their wing and given her a loving home on their vast property.
Roland shared a heartwarming story about Katjinga, a dog who took care of a little pig as if it were her own child. He expressed admiration for Katjinga, describing her as the most wonderful mother one could imagine. Upon seeing the little swine, Katjinga immediately began cleaning it and even started producing milk to breastfeed the pig a few days later. Roland’s story highlights the loving and caring nature of dogs, and reminds us that animals can form close bonds with each other regardless of their species. It is truly heartwarming to see this little pig receiving love and protection from its new furry mom.
