A newborn calf has become an unlikely friend of a family s labrador, who has adorably started bottle-feeding the calf after she was rescued to be hand-reared.
Vet Graham Oliver, his partner Heidi and their sons Tom and Dougie, four, rescued calf Penelope after she was born on a frozen lake near Alfreton, Derbyshire, in the middle of February.
Penelope was hypothermic and at serious risk of dying before the family decided to save her, remarkably using the bucket of a JCB digger.
Since moving into the family s home at the 100-acre Carnfield Hall estate in Derbyshire, the family s labrador Algernon has unusually started caring for Penelope by sleeping alongside the calf and bottle-feeding her.
