Foal enjoys the doghouse

A foal who was raised with dogs thinks his parents are labradors and even chases sticks with them. Rory was taken in by Essex Horse and Pony sanctuary after his mother rejected him when he was a just day old. He was nursed back to health by staff at the sanctuary and mixed with the dogs, reports Metro. He has picked up some strange habits as a result, including chasing thrown sticks and drinking from a dog bowl.

Sue Allery, manager of the sanctuary said: “My husband bought a frisbee and threw it across the yard – Rory went after it just like the dogs. He even started picking up twigs and sticks for us to throw. “He loves the dogs. Because they are the same size as him, he thought he was a dog.”
