awww, how cute is that?  It must be a natural instinct. I have never seen it.

I have never seen that behavior in a dog before.  I know that cats will do that on occasion.

AWWW How adorable.

 

I did have a dog when I was growing up. She had one stillborn pup. We had to take her to vet because she couldn't deliver it. When she came home she became quite attached to one of the throw pillows on the couch and carried it around in her mouth and "took" care of it as if it was her puppy.

I've never heard of this anology. I had a samll poodle once that we bought a small yellow pacman ball for him. He became very attached and it went in his mouth everywhere with him. One day he lost it, we looked everywhere and couldn't find it. He would just lay around, not wanting to eat or drink and seemed to be in mourning. I finally went to the store I had bought them at and bought 12 of them and put them way except for the one I gave him. He returned to normal and was very healthy and energetic again. He just got attached to it and really missed it.

not sure i've heard of this.

but eons ago i had a room mate  with a dog, and her dog adopted my cat's 1st litter of kittens after they were weaned.

  dog taught them little bundles of fur everything!

mama cat wasnt the brightest cat i ever had.
