When the caretaker takes the baby chicks out of the incubator, Thorin, the German shepherd, is right there, attentively observing her every move as she gently places them in a bucket. Once all the chicks are removed, she carries the bucket to another room with Thorin following closely behind.
In the new room, the caretaker takes out the chicks one by one and places them on the rug. Thorin wags his tail, watches closely, and then carefully sniffs each chick, thoroughly inspecting every single one of them.
After thoroughly inspecting them all, he’s content with his examination. He carefully walks around the chicks and stretches before lying down beside them, making sure he doesn’t step on or lay on any of them.
As the chicks curiously explore their new surroundings, Thorin watches attentively and gives them gentle nudges and sniffs. The chicks gather around his big paws, and he appears to be smiling down at them with happiness.
As far as predators and prey go, the chicks show no fear towards him. They confidently walk right up to his mouth and paws, feeling completely at ease in their new world.
Thorin is indeed a wonderful dog for taking such attentive care of his little chicks. Please share this adorable video with your family and friends.
