A dog was caught comforting an orphaned foal!

The foal received a very special help! A dog decided to give him all the support in a difficult time!
Dog empathy also occurs when they are involved in the lives of other animals. When Zip realized that one of the foals on the farm where he lived with his owners had been orphaned, he immediately did his best to ease the animal’s pain. Separated from his sick mother, the foal was particularly depressed and needed a maternal presence.

Unfortunately, the mare became ill shortly after Tye’s foal was born, despite the treatment and all the necessary care, she was unable to recover.

Being in the stable with the depressed foal, the Zip dog had felt that something was wrong. He seemed to understand everything that was going on.

From the Métis breed of Shepherd, Zip was never too interested in life on the farm and, therefore, never had much interaction with the horses owned by his owners. However, when he saw a foal that was about to lose its mother, Zip immediately embarked on a “rescue” mission.

After about six weeks, Tye began to recover and has since grown as healthy and strong as a horse should be.

One night, Mr. Swindle, the owner of the farm, stood motionless beside the mare, trying to alleviate his suffering. He really wanted to do something for her and save her, but unfortunately, there was nothing left to do.

Zip’s help seems to have been crucial, and even now the two play together from time to time. Surely their friendship will remain one for life.
