A New Zealand woman started nursing her puppy after her infant rejected her breast because she didn’t want to waste her milk, The Dominion Post reports. Kura Tumanako told the newspaper she decided to breastfeed her Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy because the milk was being wasted and she hoped it would seal a bond with the pup and make it grow up to be more protective of her family. But animal experts Wednesday warned others against adopting Tumanako’s unusual parenting, saying a dog should not be treated as “a mini-human” and pup will now be prone to behavioral problems. It may also look upon the baby as competition for the attention of the “mother”, a potentially dangerous situation, they warned.

(Actually, I’m more worried about the woman’s behavioral problems.)
