A border collie adopts a baby squirrel after saving the little rodent's life.
Now they don't leave each other's side.
Newfoundland and Labrador – Dogs like to tow all sorts of things when they go for a walk, where dog owners are threatened with a fine because of the new law.
Be it branches or other things that you find in nature.
The Border Collie Berlin from Canada also brought his mistress a "gift" from the forest - which would definitely change the lives of both of them.
The encounter between a dog and a police officer in the USA was also life-changing.
The policeman saved the four-legged friend from the scorching heat – and even adopted him afterwards.
Dog saves the life of a baby squirrel - and adopts the little furry friend
During a walk together, Leesh Rideout and her dog made a short stop at a body of water around Berlin to enable them to swim a little.
Of course, the fur nose didn't miss this chance and jumped into the water.
But there in the water was a little creature that was threatening to drown - and Berlin didn't hesitate and brought it very carefully to land, reports the dog owner on TikTok.
These are the strangest animal adoptions in the world

Border Collie snuggles with squirrel to keep it warm
It quickly turned out that the cute animal was a baby squirrel.
"We took him home to try and nurse him back to health," Leesh said in a TikTok video.
Berlin never leaves the little squirrel's side, which bears the name Alvin from then on.
He even cuddles with him to give him the body heat he needs.
This is exactly what a mother dog and her puppies did, cuddling to save an abandoned baby from freezing to death.
The attentive care of Alvin pays off: Alvin recovers quickly, develops great - and is very jolly, as reported by kreiszeitung.de.

The net is delighted: "This is the best thing I've ever seen"

Dogs are the best!” Equally cute is the relationship between a golden retriever and a couple of young bunnies who mistake him for his mom.
