At the age of three, while most babies play with dolls, a young farm girl, Dolly Caton, who lives with her mum in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, UK, spends her time talking to animals.
Her mother, Georgie Mitchell (30), has nicknamed her "the pig whisperer" because of her love of animals and nature.
"I think her love of farming started in the womb," Miss Mitchell told the Daily Mail.
At the farm, Dolly is seen rounding up the family's flock of 70 sheep, helping her mother build or bottle-feeding piglets. "I call her the pig whisperer, she's not frightened when the big pigs come up to her. She talks to the piglets and sings to them," Georgie, a mum of two, said.
"The other day she sat with a piglet, singing âTwinkle Twinkle' and warming it up under her jumper." And, the pigs take to her like fish to the sea. Apart from sheep and pigs, Dolly even raises ducks. "She teaches them how to swim," says her mum.
All the animals are bred for meat, which Georgie sells to local customers. "Both kids know the pigs go to the slaughter house but they aren't sad because they know they have had a good life," she says.
