    Default Dog Credited As Saving Abandoned Newborn

    So adorable! This dog found this little baby girl in a plastic bag. She then took her in and treated her like one of her own newborns.



    NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Offers to adopt a newborn girl found among a litter of puppies after being abandoned are pouring in to the Kenyan hospital where she is being treated, and the stray dog credited with her rescue has a home and a name -- "Mkombozi" or "Savior.

    For balance, OTB, let's also admit that dogs sometimes tear off the face of a toddler.

    Responsible pet humans(not owners) should know better than to let a toddler around any animals.Their movements are too spastic and that spooks the animal.

    I saw this story on the news yesterday and thought how cool but wasn't really surprise as I have heard that dogs are well known for caring for their young so the "motherly" instinct is very strong in them....it's people who usually change/remove that from dogs, IME
    Example of discrimination (Imho):

    the only prudent way to treat Islamics in the US and western europe today is along the same vein as Russians and Eastern Europeans were treated during the 'cold war' days - with some degree of suspicion warranted until proven otherwise !

    Funny that you say that. In the article I read about this, that exact occurrence happened to another abandoned toddler. Unfortunately, abandoned unwanted newborns are a very common occurrence in the aforementioned neck of the woods.

    With all the horror...it is nice to see that something good happened. I do wish more of the wild animals would gnaw on the "adults" who practice this. And I don't care what the culture is. It's bullshit.

    I totally agree. Do they not have some kind of safe drop-off where parents of unwanted children can take their babies for adoption like we have? Maybe it's a transportation problem? Or more likely a stupidity problem? Breastmilk is free.

    I doubt they have a safe baby drop off in Kenya. Its sad but the child would just and probably will end up in the orphanges there. Plus the adoption of African babies doesn't seem to be something most suburbian Americans would be open too. But on the bright side that's some damn intelligent stray dog.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Sorry, Chi-town-dude, but to be TRULY balanced you have to admit that individual dogs have their own personalities, and that individual humans sometimes tear the face off toddlers... and for much stupider reasons.

    I agree, Mad.

    I just posted this thread as an uplifting type of thing. It really wasn't meant for the whole "Well, we should mention that dogs can tear the faces off of innocent children." We all know that, we've seen news stories. It's nice to hear something GOOD about an animal that has contact with a small child for once, and that's the message I was going for when I posted the story.

    What this dog did was an amazing thing, based on Maternal Instincts obviously lacked by the one who gave birth to the baby. The sheer fact that this dog found the baby in a plastic bag, got it out of there in whatever way I don't know, and took care of it like one of her own furry children is remarkable and inspirational.

    I hope they find the "mother".. After of course, the baby girl is adopted by a loving, safe family.

    Rhis, there have been actually documented cases (at least one) of a human child raised in a wolf pack. Happened about a hundred years ago in france... I'll see if i can look up a link...

    Certainly, it's true that some animals wouldn't make good parents. It's hard to imagine a crocodile doing anything other than eat a human baby. But from an evolutionary perspective, babies are designed to be extremely cute, or they wouldn't be nurtured even by their own parents. Cases of cross-species nurturing among animals are common; so, perhaps, we shouldn't automatically dismiss tales of a monkey boy, wolf boy, wolf girl, or dog boy.

    Even the greeks used to talk about Dolphins saving sailors... And they didn't talk about it in a magical sense (other than insisting that Poseidon must have been behind it).

    Oh yep, I remember those stories well, Mad. I was just pointing out that we always hear bad things about dogs, how they turn into monsters and such. The good stories seem too few and far between. Then again, there could be a bunch more than we actually see on the news. "Nice" stories don't exactly get high ratings for the shows, do they?

    This is a nice story. There are people out there who detest animals regardless and these people are often angry and lonely for who knows what reason. These are the same people who call their cat a "slut" for having kittens, yet their dumbf*ckass is the one who was too stupid or too cheap to get it fixed.
    Anyway, I hope someone gives this dog and her puppies safe homes, and I hope the baby can have some kind of future.

    OK, at the risk of starting another animal zealot/people person thread, has anyone here heard anybody ever scream at a cat, "You slut!" Maybe it's a southern thing. But, gosh darn, I laughed out loud when I read that.

    I've said it, jokingly. But that was after the fourth fucking litter... And by that time i was sick and tired of giving kittens away (it gets hard after a while!)

    Youd be surprised. i volunteer at a shelter and people bring their pets in all the time to be euthanized because it 'kept having litters' are a floozy, etc. etc. Not sure what's so difficult about getting an animal fixed . Better than the slut thing, i've seen people get rid of their animals bc they don't match their new furniture ! yes i am serious. i know there are better ones i just can't think of any right now.

    so it's better for it to just be a kitten incubator ?? do you think it enjoys being knocked up on a regular basis ?? I'm not trying to be confrontational, but petoverpopulation/strays don't bother you in the least ??? Do you know (or care) that they gas animals daily by the dozens in shelter?. I can't tell if you are serious or kidding.... and NO i am not an animal rights fanatic by any means, it's just a cause I care about. I at least hope you're finding decent homes for these kittens, not just giving them away on the side of the road or something.

    LOL, I know a lotta people, and i know a lotta people that i trust with something important. I can find a litter a decent home, and not the cardboard box outside the local petstore type of home. I'm not trippin off that.

    And being a "kitten incubator" is the natural state of things. That's how cats are *supposed* to be (Hate to say it, but each lifeform on planet earth is supposed to reproduce), bound by god or bound by nature, whichever you prefer to believe in. I believe in letting nature run it's course. A responsible man or woman can deal with nature. If i couldn't find them a home, i'd give them a home, and I have one female cat. Clue? I don't believe in replacing responsibility with cutting things off, or out. Whatever the Humane society has to say.

    What i do is keep the little crabby-bitch inside while she's in heat. But it doesn't always work out like that. I do the same things with my dogs, got four of them slobberin' things. Never had a litter of those aside from the one that shed two dogs into 4 (and that was intentional). I watch. Heat = separation. I'd personally choose responsibility over maiming any day of the week. I'd like my dogs and cats to leave the world with their parts intact. Easy with dogs, watch for bleeding, hard for cats since they are also on the lookout for an open door. But that's easy too, everyone loves a kitten.

    Sorry if we have different philosophies, but i WANT my animals to play a part in the evolution of their species. I happen to dig them, and i'd like to see something of them go on.

    Wow, my brother's arguement against neutering our dog was, "How would you like it if someone chopped your tits off?" The dog got neutered anyway. My dog still acts like he has a pair.
    Anyway, some animals are deeply maternal, my aunt had a cat that STOLE other kittens from another litter, to add to her own group, because....? I guess she felt she was a better provider? Don't know. Funny story. But I have also seen animals abandon babies or eat them. Yuck.
    This makes me want to read some James Herriot stories.....

    well at least you are not taking them to the pound like many people do or putting them on the side of the road. I know of one woman who actually let her kids cat have a litter so the kid could "see the miracle of life" and then she turned around and took the litter to the shelter where they were gassed after 3 days.
    And you're right, everyone does love a kitten (except for people who torture the strays) , but there is no way around the fact that there are just not enough homes for all the ones that are out there.

    (I think it is their nature, or female cats wouldn't go out meowing and looking for the male cat with a boner that is shaped like a hook. You ever hear two cats screwing? It does NOT sound like fun! But...instinct shall overtake all.
