billy and the kid

i just love stories like this! i saw this news in a magazine, and it was so sweet, i wanted to share it with everyone, so the following was found on the daily mail site at www.dailymail.co.uk :

A paternal dog has adopted an abandoned baby goat as his surrogate child.

Billy the boxer has become the constant companion of the 12-day old kid called Lilly. He sleeps with the goat, licks her clean, and protects her from any dangers at Pennywell Farm wildlife centre at Buckfastleigh, near Totnes, Devon.

The kid was abandoned by her mother when she was only a few hours old and adopted by paternal Billy when his owner Elizabeth Tozer began hand rearing the goat.

The unusual bond has developed over the last month and the pair are now inseparable.

Elizabeth said: "Lilly follows Billy around which is really quite amusing to watch and Billy sleeps with the goat and cleans her mouth after she feeds."

Lilly was the smallest of a litter of three kids and her mother abandoned her because she could only care for the two stronger ones. The pair have attracted quite a crowd at the animal centre and the staff are keen to see how their relationship will develop.

translation by cloud (e-school) billy and the kid 我很愛這類個故事!我在雜誌上看到一個報導，是如此窩心，我想要和大家分享，以下的內容來自dail mail site這個網站上www.dailymail.co.uk : Link 父親般的狗收養被遺棄小山羊，如同是他的小孩一般 拳師狗Billy成為一個12天大的孩子Lilly固定的看護者，他和這隻山羊睡在一起，幫她清潔，在Buckfastleigh(鄰近Totness，Devon）的Pennywell Farm 野生對物中心，保護她遠離各種危險。 這個孩子在她出生後幾個小時被她的母親遺棄，就在Billy的主人Elizabeth Tozer開始飼養這隻山羊後，Billy成為她的麼養父。 這種不尋常的組合從幾個月前開始發展，現在這對已經是形影不離。 Elizabeth說:『看到Lilly整天跟著Billy真的相當有趣，Billy和山羊一起睡，以及在她餵食後清理她的嘴。』 Lilly是那窩三個小孩中最瘦小的一個，她的母親遺棄她因為她只能照顧較強壯的兩個，這對相當受到動物中心人們的注意，全體工作人員都很期待他們的關係會如何發展。
