DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania - A Tanzanian mother went into hysterics when she found her 6-month-old baby suckling dog’s milk, a local daily reported Thursday.
The mother left her son on a mat while she went to hang clothes in the yard of her Dar Es Salaam home, Uhuru newspaper said. When she came back to find him suckling on the dog, she screamed and rushed to her brother’s house to seek advice.
But the brother managed to convince her dog’s milk was harmless. “Since that day the baby is doing well and hasn’t had diarrhea or any signs of illness,” he was quoted as saying.
Another relative, who witnessed the incident on Monday, was also unperturbed. “The baby was satisfied, since his belly was full, and his lips had traces of milk,” he told Uhuru.


Woman does 'mouth-to-beak' to save chicken
Exotic bird Boo Boo was found floating face down in family pond

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - Sometimes a chicken does have lips, just not her own. Marian Morris saved her brother's exotic chicken, Boo Boo, by administering "mouth-to-beak" resuscitation on the fowl after it was found floating face down in the family's pond.
Morris, a retired nurse, said she hadn't had any practice with CPR in years, but that she was interested to see if she "still had it."
"I breathed into its beak, and its dad-gum eyes popped open," Morris said. "I breathed into its beak again, and its eyes popped open again. "I said, 'I think this chicken's alive now. Keep it warm.'"
Morris said she was pleased to find that the bird she saved was an "exotic," and not just an ordinary chicken.
The chicken is called Boo Boo, because she is easily frightened. The family thought Boo Boo was startled and flopped into the pond.
