We see it constantly where a dog will take in a kitten as its very own offspring, or a pet cat takes in a puppy to nurse and call her own.

This capacity to show love regardless of specie is one of things that makes animals so unique. But in the video clip listed below, we have an even crazier scenario.

Shadow, a white German Shepherd, is playing mother to a newborn pygmy goat! The baby took to the dog, and Darkness’s maternal instinct kicked in.

Her owners say she takes care of the little goat as if it were one of her very own pups. See as the German Shepherd wags her tail and smiles as the baby goat cuddles up beside her!.
