Orphaned lamb is adopted by a labrador and the duo moves the internet

TikTok Reproduction

The lamb’s mother and brother died, the other sheep rejected it, but a Labrador adopted it like a true father.

Simão, a small and friendly lamb, was born prematurely, and his mother and brother did not survive the birth. Despite attempts to get another sheep to adopt him, it was a Labrador that took on the responsibility.

In a video posted on TikTok, young Harry Emmel, who lives on a farm in Austria, told her followers that Digby, the family dog, took Simão in and cares for the lamb with much love and attention.

In the video, which already has over 3 million views, we see the duo playing and running. Digby wags his tail and is clearly careful in his interactions with Simão, who in turn struggles to keep up with the dog’s pace.

In the comments, internet users celebrated the unusual friendship: “All animals are special, but dogs have an extra special role in this life. They save not only humans but also lambs,” said one.

“Why does he always look like he’s smiling? Now I’m a vegetarian, thanks to this video,” wrote another. “He made one of his best friends, he will be loved and protected forever,” commented a third.
