This is the remarkable moment a baby goat stopped a stray dog on the street and drank milk from its udder on December 27 in Angul, eastern India.

The kid's real mother was busy feeding, so when the hungry animal saw a lactating dog passing, it ran over and started to drink from the canine.

The dog, which had given birth to a few pups in the vicinity, stood patiently and let the kid drink.

Sarat Kumar Rout, who filmed the incident, said: "The dog just stood there and behaved like the lamb’s (kid's) mother. I had never seen anything like that in my life."
