This is one special Mum, her name is “Baby” and she lives at The Lehnitz sanctuary near Berlin in Germany.
“Baby” has been Mum to many different animals from the sanctuary, some she adopts, and others she has nursed. In the video below is “Baby” making sure these six little piglets stay out of trouble.
There is a very good article about Baby in the Mirror, with some great pictures.

I agree, it is wonderful to see different animals coming together like this.

Hi Ronnie,
They are adorable aren’t they.
So sweet!!
Hi Travel Spirit,
They certainly are.
Maternal instincts know no boundaries as far as Baby is concerned even at eight years old quite amazing indeed

Hi Windsmoke,
That is so true, especially relating to this little dog.
Udderly amazing — pun intended
Hi Laurie,
Good pun.
She is an amazing dog.
Amazing how material instincts kick in. Interesting how some animals even nurse other species.
Hi aFrankAngle,
I also find this amazing, it really is fascinating to see.
Mags – you find the best wee gems. Cheers to you!
Hi This Sydney Life,
Thank You, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
The maternal instinct is very strong, as we keep seeing time after time, even as in this case, between animals of a different species. It’s so beautiful to see,and Babe is an amazing mother! Thanks so much for sharing this one Mags, it was truly heartwarming.
Hi barb19,
She certainly is an amazing mother. I think there is still a lot we really don’t know about animals, but the more we do find out the more amazed I am.
I enjoy the research you do in finding such good videos. Thanks. Have a fun week.

Hi Nia,
It is a beautiful story, and animals can be amazing, especially this little dog.

I loved this, Mags!!! So cute, what a wonderful, sweet story to watch before going to bed..
Hi Rebekah,
Wonderful and sweet is exactly what it is. It really is hard getting used to the time difference, it is lunch time here.
How adorable! Those piglets are “lucky dogs!”
Hi AA,
Very well said, they are indeed very “lucky dogs”.
What a heartwarming story. She is the ultimate Mum as she’s done it before. Seems like she just likes to look after babies. How cute!
Hi Selma,
It does seem to be her, she obviously loves looking after anything that cannot defend for itself, truly a remarkable dog.
How cool is that!
Hi tempo,
Not bad hey, something you certainly don’t see every day.
Hi Mags!
What a wonderful and inspiring story you shared with all of us through this post. Great one. I visited your blog after a long time. And you stored lots of good stuff for me here.
Hi Arindam,
It is very nice to see you back again.
It is a lovely story, and the little dog is very much an inspiration.
There’ll be trouble and heartache for Mum “Baby”, when those piggies grow up into huge wild boars! Thanks for this charming story, I very much enjoyed it.
Hi mariathermann,
Oh yes that will be a challenge.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3
Hi wolke205,
Very much so.
Very cool.
People could take a lesson from the dog!
Hi El Guapo,
That is very true, they couuld.
What a good Mommy! Cute video. :+)
Hi startaschat,
She is the best I would say.
Thanks, Mags, that was a good bit of unconditional care to pick up my Sunday. Excellent share!
Oops, I meant Monday. I’m still behind.
Hi Alina,
I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
The Angelina Joly of the animal world.
Hi Lady Marilyn,
She certainly is.
I’m in awe. This is so heartening and precious. I know there’s a special place in heaven for loving animals like Baby. She is truly a blessing and gift to the animal kingdom.
Hi E.C.
There is a very special place in heaven for these wonderful animals.
Hi Mags, this is lovely! I must tell my sister about it – she’s potty about dogs and pigs!
Hi Val,
I’m sure she would love the video if she likes dogs and pigs. It is beautiful how the dog just took over and starting looking after these cute little piglets.
Bless her heart – her mothering knows no bounds. This was so heartwarming!
Hi Barbara,
This little dog was definitely born to look after baby animals regardless of species.
Ahhhhh…what a sweetheart of a mama!
Hi Fergiemoto,
Most definitely the best I would say.
How sweet. And what cute little piggies.
Hi Tony,
They are gorgeous aren’t they, it’s great to see different animals so loving toward each other.
Magsx2…why is the video currently unavailable? Same was true of the dolphins….
Hi purpleborough,
I am so sorry you couldn’t watch the video. The video plays alright for me. Does it say not avaliable in your area? I really don’t know why you couldn’t see it.
Today I could watch, so it must have been my computer but it said not available…I loved the story! So glad my watching days are back!
Hi Linda,
It’s great news that is for sure. It is fantastic to see the animals interacting.
