Now she feeds her together with her four pups; just like one more of the family, without any differences. Eighteen-year-old farmer Glori Rushing told Metro UK that the moment Rita’s mother, Smore, refused to feed her, Blizzie took over: she jumped into the pen and took her to bed with her own babies, whom she had given birth to a few days earlier. The three-year-old dog and four-week-old Rita formed a beautiful bond.
Glori and her husband Nathaniel tried to feed her with a bottle, but she preferred her foster mother’s milk. At first they tried to reunite Rita with her own mother, but when she continued to reject her, they allowed Blizzie to adopt her.
“Blizzie’s supposed to help take care of the farm and the goats, but I’ve never seen her take one like this before. I was giving Rita a bottle every two hours because I didn’t know how good dog milk would be for a goat, but instead she just went to Blizzie.
