Dalmatian dog adopts black and white spotted lamb

A lamb with black spots was abandoned by his mother. However, he found a new mother in Zoe, an affectionate Dalmatian dog. The Dorper sheep has a black and white coat which is almost identical to the Dalmatian’s spots and they have been inseparable ever since. Zoe nuzzles and lovingly licks the lamb and generally acts like his mother. John Bolton, a breeder in Australia that cares for Zoe and the sheep, says they’re not sure whether to call the lamb a “sheep-matian” or “Dal-dorper.”
