It could have been a real disasterwhen this mother pig rejected her newborn litter of piglets. But they found their guardian in the most unexpected of places - a 12-year-old Jack Russell named Dottie Jayne.

The piglets were born to Sophie on a farm in Knotts Island, North Carolina, on a weekend in early July. But their mother rejected them as soon as they were born, not even allowing them to nurse.And that's where Dottie Jayne stepped in. She'd been watching the whole episode and stepped up to the plate, looking after the babies and letting them try to nurse.Then something incredible happened: despite the fact she hadn't prepared for their birth, Dottie Jayne even began to produce milk for the piglets!
