My Dogs aren't quite this Smart

A newborn baby abandoned in a Kenyan forest was saved by a stray dog who apparently carried her across a busy road and through a barbed wire fence to a shed where the infant was discovered nestled with a litter of puppies, witnesses said Monday.

This dog and it's litter had been living near the home of the family that later found the child. The den, turns out, was behind a small wood building near the Mwalimu's home. The child's cries brought two older children over in curiosity to discover the abandoned infant:

The baby was found after two children reported hearing an infant's cries near their wood and metal shack."I followed them outside, and we started looking around the compound and a nearby plot," said Mary Adhiambo, the children's mother.

They eventually found the tan mixed-breed dog lying protectively with a puppy beside the mud-splattered baby wrapped in a torn black shirt, Adhiambo said. The dog has no name, residents said.

My Dogs have names but nowhere near the same protective instincts as mama did. 'Course neither of them have been/are mothers but still. They're smart, but not that smart.

Sure are cute though...
