Katjinga is a Rhodesian ridgeback and Paulinchen is a cute, plump, two-week-old piglet who was orphaned but fortunately was adopted by Katjinga as her own.

The dog took care of Paulinchen without hesitation, treating her as her child. Paulinchen fell in love with this cute little piglet at first sight and vowed to save her life.

Punchen and Katjinga huddle together closely, showing that they do not care about species differences and that they have formed a very unique bond. The girl even feeds the pig.

One of the things that caught people's attention on social media is the adorable photos of the pair, including one in which Paulinchen, the smaller one, can be seen attempting to breastfeed from her much larger adoptive mother, Katjinga.

Roland, a property developer, found a frail piglet that had been abandoned by her family the night after she was born, but she managed to survive. Wild boars roam Roland's land, and a sow had given birth to a litter of five in the forest.

Roland said, 'I found Paulinchen alone, and she was cold when I went to pick her up.'

Roland rescued a piglet she thought the local caught that night. She brought the piglet home and gave it to Katjinga, who had just given birth and was 10 months old at the time. Roland believes that it is his responsibility to take care of the piglet.

According to Roland, Katjinga proved to be a great mother when she immediately began bathing the piglet as if it were one of her own. She even started producing milk to feed it after a few days, treating it like her own child.
