A British Labrador retriever named Fred has adopted his third group of orphaned ducklings.
According to reports, Fred, who is 15 years old, has taken groups of orphaned ducklings under his wing several times. Isn ‘t that an unusual fact?

People actually stated that in 2018, when Fred was 10 years old, he acted as a “surrogate” parent to nine orphaned ducklings.
A year later, Mountfitchet Castle in England, which is Fred’s home, posted on the social network Facebook, that the labrador had taken care of another family of ducklings that no longer had parents.
And just recently, at the end of 2022, the old dog once again became the “dad” of a new batch of ducklings.
These ducklings have lost their mother who mysteriously disappeared from the castle grounds overnight, so who else but Fred to take care of them?
