Goose Is Seeing Eye Dog for Blind Boxer

by Myke on July 21, 2012

Goose and Blind Boxer

A blind boxer named Baks got a whole new lease on life thanks to a goose named Buttons. The goose leads Baks around everywhere either by hanging onto him with her neck, or by honking to tell him which way to go. Owner Renata Kursa, of Lublin, Poland, was heartbroken when Bak was left blind after an accident.
‘But gradually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around. They’re inseparable now – they even chase the postman together.’

Dog Adopts Tiny Pig

Surrogate mum Katjinga, an eight-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, took on motherly duties for grunter Paulinchen – a tiny pot-bellied pig – and seems to be taking the adoption in her stride. Lonely Paulinchen was luckily discovered moments from death and placed in the care of the dog who gladly accepted it as one of her own. Thankfully for the two-week old mini porker, Katjinga fell in love with her at first sight and adopted her. [continue reading about Great Pets…]
