I was on Facebook the other day and saw this video of a labrador called Fred and the nine ducklings he has adopted. Makes me tired just thinking about it! When does Fred get time for a nap? I think it would be easier to Adopt a Koala. They are less work.

It got me thinking though, Dogs really can protect wildlife. I started to reminisce of the good old days. I had an ancestor called Max who used to carry a duck around and lift it up and put it in the horse trough for a bath. Wait, and then remove it.
