A Cocker Spaniel Became a Warm Bed for a Sleepy Lamb
The buff Cocker Spaniel lies on his side with his silky ears spread on the carpet and his eyes closed, and on top of his ribs a little white lamb has settled down to sleep. Her legs are tucked beneath her and her head rests on her own shoulder. A lamp glows in the corner, a houseplant leans toward the light and a sofa with a knitted blanket is just behind them. It is the stillest sort of living room scene.
Cocker Spaniels are sweet-natured, gentle dogs known for their soft coats and cheerful dispositions. They are happiest around people and other pets, and they usually enjoy lying close to those they love. Their long ears and thick coats do need regular grooming, and ear infections are common, so ask your vet about routine care. Lambs, like most babies, sleep a lot, and they feel safest when snuggled close to a warm companion. In real life, however, young livestock should be kept with their mothers or an experienced caretaker, not on a dog. If you have a lamb in your care, a vet can advise on feeding and warmth. Quiet, calm moments are a good sign of trust, so give both animals space to rest without disturbance.
The dog does not mind being a pillow. Some of the best friends are the ones willing to hold still.
