Wild Boar Finds Home In The Arms Of A Caring Labrador
Some animal rescues start with a cry for help, and this one began with a box left outside a doorstep. Inside was a tiny wild boar, far too young to survive on its own, and Dora Ngai did not waste time getting it warm and safe.
She brought the baby boar inside, cared for it through those first fragile hours, and later introduced it to her four dogs. That is where the story took a sweet turn, because one Labrador seemed to bond with the little boar right away, and the feeling looked mutual.
What happened next turned a rescue into a surprisingly adorable family story. Read on.
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.
The little boar was only a few hours old and had been separated from its mom, so Dora moved quickly to keep it warm.
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.
That rescue effort turned into a full-time house guest situation.
“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.
And that is when Yezhu started fitting in like she had always been there.
It’s also like Thor the abandoned baby deer who begged for help and bonded with a family.
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.

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!
