Dr. Martin explained that the eagle had recently become a mother and was struggling to nurture her newly hatched chicks. Eagles, like many other animals, sometimes face difficulties in keeping their young fed and safe. The mother eagle had likely seen the puppy as a potential helper, a source of warmth and comfort for her young.
“What we’re witnessing here is something extremely rare,” Dr. Martin explained. “It seems that the eagle has bonded with the puppy. Possibly, the puppy’s calm and nurturing nature led the eagle to believe it could help care for her babies.”
The eagle had, in a sense, adopted the puppy into her family, allowing it to play with the chicks. The puppy, who was used to the comfort of a safe yard, now found itself in an entirely new environment—yet it seemed to be thriving there. The neighbors watched in awe as the puppy snuggled up to the baby eagles, wagging its tail contentedly.
