Meet Fred, the Labrador who became a dad to nine ducklings!

A new «animal adventure» has appeared in the dog’s life.

A thoroughbred English dog, which has grown up in a castle, has had noble manners since childhood. Yes, this is not a joke-Labrador Fred, whom you see in the photo, was born and lives in real estate, the Mauntfitchet, which is in Essex.

The former Norman castle is restored and turned into a local attraction that tourists often visit. And Fred protects him!

He is used to taking care of every living creature. For example, once he raised a small squirrel, which was picked up on the road by his master Jeremy Goldsmit. Squirrel lived in a castle kitchen for six months, and then was released into the forest!

And in the dog’s life, a new «animal adventure» appeared-native Fred turned 10 years old (venerable age for the dog), and then fate decided to make it a father!)

The duck quit the nest near the castle, but shortly after the ducklings hatched from the layered eggs, the insidious fox tracked her mother and dragged her for breakfast.

People have worried about what to do with birds because it is almost impossible to survive at that age without parents! But the dog has already decided everything. He gathered babies and led them …

Since then, Papa Fred has not parted with nine ducklings. He rides them on himself, warms them at night, and even smoothes feathers with his tongue!

And recently, Dad began to teach his children to swim. Next to the castle, there is a moat in which it is very convenient to dive and refresh on a hot day! A smart dog seems to understand that the ducklings cannot live without water, and therefore every day leads them to the «navigation lessons»!
