TWO DOGS BEFRIEND BABY HIPPO

Two dogs and their one big pal, Douglas the little hippo: Trio form unlikely friendship at wildlife rescue park after baby was abandoned at just two weeks

  • The baby hippo was abandoned by his mother at just two-weeks-old by the Conservation Lower Zambezi in Zambia.
  • Perfectly happy for terriers Molly and Coco to give him a friendly sniff
  • He will stay at wildlife park until big enough to be released into the wild
  • Although just weeks old, it took six men to carry Douglas out of the plane 
Douglas, the hippo, appears perfectly content with his friends terriers Molly and Coco.


Abandoned: Douglas was found without his mother at just two weeks old by the Conservation Lower Zambezi in Zambia
 
 
A word in your ear: Terriers Molly and Coco play with Douglas the hippo
