Terri Graham, a mother of
two, couldn't breastfeed her children. But, she's now fulfilling her maternal
desire in an unorthodox way -- by breastfeeding her 9-year-old daughter's dog,
a pug named Spider.
In an interview published in the Oct. 20 U.K. edition of Closer
magazine, Graham, 44, said that she knows some people might consider her a
"freak," but insisted that her breastfeeding nourishes the dog, and
makes her feel like a better mom.
"Having Spider suckle on my boob means I finally feel
complete and a better mother," Graham told Closer.
Graham, who is from California, claimed that the dog developed a
taste for breast milk in 2010 after licking the nipple of a bottle she had
pumped for her then-newborn son. She says she has breastfed the dog for about 2
years.
A photo of the article about Graham was posted to a Reddit forum
devoted to strange and outrageous news, where it quickly received more than
2,000 "upvotes" and rose to the site's front page.
Although the comments were riddled with jokes, one user pointed
out that a British woman had reportedly breastfed her dog in 2010.
A psychologist interviewed for the magazine piece suggested that
Graham seek therapy, but stranger incidents involving canines have occurred in
the British Isles. In July 2011, a man was charged in Ireland for violating
that country's bestiality laws after a woman died from an allergic reaction
following sex with his German shepherd.
