There may be seen near Kelso, Scot
and. the extraordinary spectacle of a
hen ~bestowing maternal care on a lit
ter of three Dandle Dinmont pups, the
property of John Wait, forester there.
It seems that the pups, which are about
3 weeks old, had been deserted by their
mother, and in their aimless wander
ings had come into contact with a
broody Orpington hen, the result being
that the hen began to go about with
them. When she sits down the pups
climb over her back and crawl under
her wings just like as many chickens,
and are apparently as much attached
to their fcathered foster mother as the
latter is to her canine family.
