Do male dogs recognize their own puppies?
Is it possible for a dog to adopt a different species of animal as its own offspring?
It is possible for a dog to adopt another species of animal as its own offspring, though this is relatively uncommon. In most cases, the animal would need to be around the same size as the dog's own puppies or smaller, and the dog would need to be receptive to caring for the animal. This type of adoption can have positive benefits for both the dog and the adopted animal.
