A toddler in Chile was kept alive by a pregnant dog after the child's mother allegedly abandoned him. The dog breastfed the child as he was left with no food or water to survive in a mechanic's warehouse.

The two-year-old child was seen feeding hungrily from his neighbour's dog after his drunken mother left him in the desert  port of Arica.After seeing the boy's condition, authorities were called in and he was taken to Hospital Regional Dr. Juan Noé in Santiago. The child was declared in an unhealthy state and malnourished.

According to the reports by 24Horas.cl, the child was also suffering from skin infection and had a lice infestation. The officials said that the boy was found in a very poor state and that the dog's milk may have saved him from starvation. 

The neighbours said that the child's mother visited the hospital in a 'dead drunk' state where the child was admitted. Police Captain Diego Gajardo said that the child has been released from hospital and has been placed temporarily in the care of local child welfare authorities.
