Reuters is reporting that a Tanzanian mother went into hysterics when she found her six month-old baby suckling dog's milk. The mother left her son on a mat while she went to hang clothes in the yard and came back to find him suckling on the dog.From The Family Dog Online's article on Introducing a Dog to a New Baby: The nature of canids - wolves and dogs - is that of the family group. It is normally two dominant adults and related individuals of various ages. Usually only the two dominant adults breed, yet all members of the pack help to care for the mother and pups, bring meat back to the mother and pups, and guard the pups. Subordinate females may "baby-sit" and even help nurse the puppies.
