Mom Breastfeeds Puppy to Protect Baby
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20041117/od_nm/odd_newzealand_puppy_dc

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.

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

4. Strange...
We had a dog that would let our cat nurse after she had puppies. I guess this is more or less the same thing. Still... strange.
