Dogs have remarkable senses, enabling them to discover all sorts of things. But what this family dog found during one of his adventures left everyone in shock.
After discovering a mysterious egg, the dog proudly brought it to his owner, Erica, who runs Summersalt Farm in Wayland, Massachusetts. However, no one was prepared for the cutest baby that popped out of the mystery egg.
When the dog surprised Erica with the mystery egg, she first tried to find the nest to return it. However, there were no nests around.
Since abandoning the egg wasn’t an option, she decided to buy an incubator and wait for the surprise to hatch.
Erica and her partner took special care of the egg, and finally, after 28 days, it started hatching.
When the egg cracked open, everyone was shocked to see a baby turkey. Upon seeing it, Erica instantly knew that the turkey would become a new member of their family. She shared in a video:
“I wasn’t prepared for how cute she was gonna be when she actually came out. I didn’t know that turkeys were one of the most affectionate and emotional birds.”
Erica was determined to help this baby grow into a happy and healthy adult turkey. She kept her inside a cage, ensuring her safety. She even provided the turkey with a small mirror so she could recognize her own species.
The turkey went from baby to adult in the blink of an eye, and no one saw it coming. Realizing that, Erica knew it was time to provide her with a bigger space, so they started building a giant mobile coop. She added:
“It was what she needed, and she loved it.”
Seeing the turkey happy and safe in her new house brought immense joy to Erica because she knew how much stress and effort they had put into it.
Sometimes, it’s funny how some things are meant to be. The egg happened to be in the right place and at the right time.
The dog likely sensed that the egg was alive and instinctively brought it to Erica. Thanks to that, the turkey is now a happy member of Summersalt Farm, thriving in her new life, just as she deserves.
