Rita, a baby goat abandoned by her mother at birth, found a new caretaker in Blizzie the dog.
Blizzie now looks after Rita alongside her four puppies, embracing her as a part of the family without any distinction.
According to eighteen-year-old farmer Glori Rushing, when Rita’s mother, Smore, refused to feed her, Blizzie stepped in. She carried Rita to her bed next to her own puppies, born just a few days earlier.
The three-year-old dog and four-week-old Rita formed a special bond. Glori shared that Blizzie, who had recently given birth, went out of her way to care for Rita, bringing her alongside her own pups.
Seeing how naturally Blizzie nurtured Rita, Glori and her husband Nathaniel decided to keep them together. Rita even preferred Blizzie’s milk over the bottle they initially tried to feed her.
“Blizzie usually helps on the farm, including looking after the goats, but I’ve never seen her take to one like she did with Rita,” Glori remarked. Rita fits right in with the puppies and Blizzie, behaving just like part of the pack.
