(ANIMAL FAMILIES) GERMANY — A French bulldog named Baby has taken six wild baby boar piglets under her care at an animal sanctuary outside of Berlin. Baby has mothered other species before, an example that motherly instincts can transcend all boundaries. Animals adopting out of their species is not as rare as you might think, but so far scientists have no explanation for this heartwarming phenomenon. It certainly proves that animals, in addition to humans, are capable of altruism. Read on to learn about this motherly bull dog. — Global Animal

Most agencies will not give service dogs to children because they can’t be the dogs primary caregiver. When you add a mental disability to the application, getting approved is virtually impossible. Knowing the difficulties, the Winokurs decided to apply to 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that places service dogs with people who would be unapproved elsewhere. — Global Animal
