Virar's Khanivade village has a touching story to tell. A four-month-old calf, whose mother died a month back, has been drinking milk of a bitch named Maya.

The female dog and the calf are taken care of by Vinayak Lagad, a resident of the village. The mother of Vasru, the calf, died when she was just a month old and since then Maya has been feeding Vasru her own milk. The incident was reported to the local government body recently and they are probing if there is any danger to the calf after consuming the milk of a bitch.

Lagad said, "Vasru has become so used to Maya's milk that she can't live without it now." He added, "Three months back, my cow had gone into the jungles to eat grass. She was found dead. She was old and had also given birth to Vasru a month back."

"After her death, Vasru used to cry for milk. One day Maya went to her and fed Vasru with her milk. It's been four months now and Vasru still drinks Maya's milk."

"This is one of the most bizarre incidents I have come across. I am a farmer and yet I haven't seen this kind of animal love before," said Vishwanath Kadu, a resident.

"These days there are many cases of babies being abandoned by their own mothers. And here is a female dog taking care of a calf like she's her own baby. This surely sends out a strong message," he added. imran.fazal@dnaindia.net
