In a heartwarming incident, a street dog that adopted a cat after its mother died, was seen feeding milk to the feline in Kolkata, India.

The mother had passed away soon after giving birth to the cat.

The heart-touching video shows a feline on the lap of the dog while it lies down in a corner and feeds.

The filmer Manjushri said "I had learned about a dog adopting a cat through my neighbours but saw it compassionately feeding for the first time.

"Humans these days have lost compassion which is now found in these animals."

This rare sight was captured on February 15.

In a heart-warming incident, a street dog which adopted a cat after its mother died, was seen feeding milk to the feline in Kolkata, India.

The mother had passed away soon after giving birth to the cat after which the street dog in the locality adopted the cat as its own.

The heart-touching video shows the little feline on the lap of the dog while it lies down in a corner and feeds from its udder.

The filmer Manjushri said, "I had learnt about a dog adopting a cat through my neighbours but saw it compassionately feeding for the first time."

"Humans these days have lost compassion which is now found in these animals."

The incident comes like a rare sight where prey is seen drinking from the udder of its predator.

A few known incidents earlier also showed dog feeding pigs in India but never where it was related as a direct predator and prey.

Some animals tend to have more compassionate behaviour and are seen adopting animals from other clans.

The video was shot of 15th Feb 2020 in Kolkata
