Thiruvaniyoor is a village in Ernakulam district in the Indian state of Kerala. That is bottom left looking at India from above! Kerala has the highest tiger density on my reckoning! But they are in reserves or should be.
This is a nice dog-cares-for-cats story. There are many examples on the internet. This dog, however, is behaving like a mother cat transporting the abandoned kittens in his mouth just like a mother cat moves her offspring around before nursing the kittens. It is fascinating to see.
The map shows where Ernakulam district is:
The owners of the featured household are clearly animal lovers as there is lots of companion animal activity in and around the house.
And someone in the know has made the video. That is an interesting point, I think. Do these people have a video camera and broadband access to the internet? I would doubt it. Great video. I would like to hear from Rudolph on that, our man in Mumbai.
I have seen this video before, it is beautiful. What an excellent family this must be to have such happy and kind dogs, especially one who takes on three kittens and cares for them so well. I think you can tell a lot about people from the behaviour of their animals.
