However, she's now fulfilling her maternal desire in an unorthodox way –- by breastfeeding her 9-year-old daughter's dog, a pug named Spider. Your Adorable Puppy Is Also a Breast Pump. Your Adorable Puppy Is Also a Breast Pump. The legend of Romulus and Remus and the she-wolf may not have been so far-fetched. Last time, we talked about the new science of milk and the work of Katie Hinde, who studies lactation in rhesus macaques. But for some reason, looking at these photos of women breastfeeding various animals makes me very nauseous, it’s just not natural, no matter what continent your from.

The new mummy mutt, belonging to a farmer from a nearby suburb, is raising the two panda cubs as its own, sometimes even refusing to feed its little pup.

COLORADO-- A photo of a woman breastfeeding a puppy is going around the internet after the woman posted the picture on her Facebook page to explain why she did it, according to KRDO. The Colorado Springs TV station reported that the woman told them she did it to save the puppy's life. She said the puppy, named Tubbs, was the runt of the litter. His mother was killed and he wouldn't eat from the bottle. She told KRDO, He just wasn't taking it. Scientists have always been interested in how other mammals lactate, even species that have little light to shed on our own. We know the fat content of elephant seal milk, for example. (It’s basically fatty fat with fat sauce.) But our interest in the lactation of other animals extends well beyond studying it. For a lot of history, we’ve had a much more intimate relationship with the subject. In the United States, there's often a bit of a controversy over whether or not breastfeeding is healthier than feeding a baby formula after it's born. In Cambodia, breastfeeding seems to be the winner, even if it is from a cow. The milk flow went in the other direction, too: Humans nursed other species. In the highlands of New Guinea, women nursed orphaned piglets; in South America, they breastfed baby deer, opossums, monkeys; in Japan, the Ainu people were said to suckle bear cubs. Adoptive mothers used the infants of other species to induce lactation.
