Results: Beagle "Adopts" Abandoned Baby Possum After Losing Her Own Puppies

That's why Molly the beagle's bond with her baby is so unique. After losing her entire litter of puppies just days after they were born, the grieving mom found comfort in the most unexpected way. Do you know of a litter of puppies (or kittens) that all died within days after their birth?

Molly lives with her owners, Elle and Sara Moyle, in Victoria, Australia. One day, she was outside her home and stumbled across an abandoned baby possum. The small creature promptly climbed onto her back and held on, and ever since they've been inseparable. Have you ever witnessed an unlikely bond between animals of different species?

No matter how improbable it may seem, these two were clearly destined to meet! Sara explained that Molly and "Poss" needed each because they both experienced the loss of an important relationship. Do you think the fact that she found a different baby that lost her mom, Molly was better able to cope with the loss of her own puppies?

Molly certainly takes her role as Poss' surrogate mother seriously. As the nocturnal critter sleeps during the day, Elle said, "Molly just sits under the tree where she's sleeping and just waits for her." In moments when both of them are awake, Poss can be found clinging to the dog's back. Molly doesn't seem to mind. In fact, if her wagging tail is any indication, she loves giving her little one a ride! Have you ever seen an animal hitch a "ride" on another animal - of a different species?

The Moyles aren't sure how long Poss will stick around once she's grown, but she and Molly are having a great adventure in the meantime. Do you think Poss is likely to stick around indefinitely - even as a full-grown possum?

If this were your story, would you want a possum hanging around your house?
