Dogs make 'nannies' for rats

Although ready to attack other types of mice, the bitch proved to be affectionate with the mice, even getting angry when a stranger invades his "cubs". This surprised many people and came to see.

My name dog and 5 rats are 3 months old (each weighing 300-400g) lives at Mr. Duong Van Hoai's house (Vinh Thanh commune, Phuoc Long district, Bac Lieu). Thanks to the attentive care of the "model storm" dog, 5 rats are healthy, grow fast and have shiny black hair. Initially, the rats were kept in cages, but then they escaped, ran to the field to find food and then returned to my "mother" in the evening.

Mr. Hoai said, 3 months ago, his son and some of the young men in My village went to hunt hamsters in the fields. While burrowing the rats, he discovered 6 pups that had not opened their eyes yet so he took them home to take care of. When he was new, he let them drink milk, then fed rice, rice, fish . and was very wary of My because he was afraid of biting dead mice.

However, the 12-year-old bitch proved to be gentle, taking care of the young mice, although every time I went to the field, My was the "killer" of other mice.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hau, Vice Chairman of Vinh Thanh Commune People's Committee said that many people heard the story of the righteousness and went to Mr. Hoai's house to see dogs as "nanny" for rats. Local authorities have recommended that people should not fabricate, superstitious to create bad public opinion, causing insecurity in the locality.
