Wild Boar Finds Home In The Arms Of A Caring Labrador
If there's one thing you can always count on from dogs, it's the overflowing love, care, and attention they give to just about anyone or anything they come across. They are very social creatures by nature, and they are always on the lookout for their next interactions with humans and non-humans, even with animals that aren't of their own kind.
Couple that with an owner who is equally loving and caring, and the lost individuals that find their way into the arms of such people are truly fortunate. While it's not uncommon to hear and see people or dogs helping another animal in distress, the world still needs many more of these stories to make it a better place—if not for us, then for these innocent animals.
If you are a fan of these kinds of stories, then this one will certainly capture your heart. It involves an abandoned wild boar found by a kind woman named Dora Ngai, who brought it home to nurse it back to health.
When Dora introduced the wild boar to her four dogs, one of them seemed to fall in love at first sight—and it looks like the wild boar decided to adopt the Labrador as her dad, too!
Check out their story below!
It all started when Dora found a box just outside her doorstep.
The box contained a wild boar that looked abandoned and in distress. Little did the adorable creature know that it would go from being abandoned to living a very spoiled life after a kind woman found her at her doorstep.
No one has any idea how it got there, but one thing was clear: the little creature was in dire need of help.
She was only a few hours old, so Dora knew that she needed warmth as soon as possible. The woman rushed the boar inside the house and filled some bottles with warm water to keep its temperature up.
“She was only a few hours old. She had been separated from her mom and was looking very cold,” Dora said.
They did not know how to take care of a baby wild boar, but they were determined to save its life.
Dora and her boyfriend asked around, but everyone told them that it would be nearly impossible to take care of a wild boar and help it survive without its mother. Thankfully, they were determined and kindhearted enough to pursue nursing the tiny creature back to health and save its life.
“We read online that she would need to be fed every hour, so my boyfriend and I took turns sleeping in the living room with her for almost the first four weeks, feeding her every hour when she woke up and started crying. It was really like taking care of a baby for us,” Dora said.
They named the wild boar Yezhu.
It was not easy taking care of Yezhu, but she began to grow day by day. Dora then decided to introduce her to her four dogs, although she was unsure how both the dogs and the wild boar would react to each other's presence.
Surprisingly and fortunately, it was love at first sight for Yezhu and her dogs, especially with her gentle Labrador named Biu Biu.
“She would always want to be with them—especially Biu Biu. She would always want to follow him and lie down next to him or sit on him. She’s really nice to all the dogs, even though they bark at her when she tries to steal their food. She really thinks she is one of them,” Dora said.

At present, the wild boar and her friends have become inseparable, and her relationship with Biu Biu has grown stronger. Dora discovered that Yezhu has some eyesight problems, so she cannot be released back into the wild—but at least she seems much happier with the kind of company she has now!
