Dog adopts nine ducklings, Mountfitchet Castle, Essex, UK - 21 May 2018
A DOG has become "dad" to nine baby birds at Mountfitchet Castle, a tourist attraction near Stansted Airport in Essex.
Fred, a 10-year-old Labrador has adopted the little ducklings after they were orphaned and staff found them waddling around the grounds alone.
He stepped in to help after they were abandoned last Thursday and they have been following him around ever since as if he is their mother.
The ducklings sleep in the basket with Fred and have even hitched a ride on his back and followed him into the water for a swim in the castle moat.
A spokeswoman for the castle said: "The team were very worried about the ducklings but Fred, a 10-year-old Labrador, immediately took to them and has been babysitting ever since.
