Newborn chicks and kittens find unlikely nanny in Saint Bernard

A SAINT Bernard has become an unlikely nanny to newborn chicks and kittens.

Three-year-old Mable discovered a love for young animals when owner Emma Haag took in two feral kittens.

Mable then turned her attention to protecting chicks and snuggling up with piglets on the Suffolk farm where she lives.

Proud Emma said: “Mable has always had this motherly instinct.

"We have ponies, mini pigs, geese, ducks, chickens, quails, cats and even a bunny and Mable loves all of them.”

The caring pooch has more than 15,000 followers on TikTok.

Emma added “Her love for our farm pets helps put smiles on people’s faces.”
