Mom breast feeds puppy
Mom Breastfeeds Puppy to Protect Baby
Wed Nov 17, 8:30 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A woman in New Zealand says she is breastfeeding her pet puppy because she wants it to protect her baby daughter as they both grow up.
Kura Tumanako told the NZPA news agency Wednesday that she had started breastfeeding the Staffordshire bull terrier pup after her baby stopped taking her milk.
"I didn't want to waste it so I gave it to Honey Boy," she said.
According to NZPA, Tumanako said she had fed the dog twice a day for the past week but would probably wean it off in about six weeks' time. Her baby, now 2 months old, is on bottled milk.
"I wanted to raise it (the pup) with my baby," she said. "I wanted to bring it up with a baby. It will protect her as they grow up," said Tumanako, who lives in Hastings in New Zealand's North Island.
"He drinks more than the baby. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little bit ticklish."

I dunno.. I think that's a bit ethnocentric... She apparently genuinely believes that raising the dog on her breast milk will cause it to protect her daughter, and who are we to say she's wrong??...
We can't keep looking at the world through our own little scope and passing judgements as though we're the only ones with the right answers or the "truth"... Her actions are totally reasonable... Sorry, this is just something that bugs me about the world today
Just my two or three cents...

I don't get the connection though?.. I mean, the mother wants the puppy to grow up and be close to her daughter---how is breastfeeding the pup going to encourage that? Did she 'suckle' them together?
Just seems like something they'd do way down in Texas. meh hehehe.

Some cultures believe that breast milk forms blood... and therefore you can have two babies from different mothers that drink the same breast milk be considered blood relatives. It's really interesting actually. And, through this relativity, they may feel an obligation to protect one another. I'm not saying this is what she's saying or anything, but I'm just trying to show that to these people, their actions are completely logical... I mean it doesn't get more scientific than the fact that they're blood related, right?! Even eating rice that's made from the same hearth can cause people to become related....
Anyway, my point is that not everything is as black and white as is often conceived in Western Society... and it's not fair for us to assume that our actions are the only ones that are correct, rational, proper, etc...

You brought up some very good points, Kate...Although we'll just have to figure out somehow in the future if the pup will grow up to protect her for real. As weird as it may sound, it may very well happen~ That'd be awesome
