While some will always oppose to people intervening in nature’s own issues, I can’t see what bad it can do to provide love and a safe haven to someone with a limited amount of time. I am sure Kip realized he was being loved until the very end despite his misfortune in having been kicked out from his nest. That always matters.

      Dogs who have had a calm and loving family generally are not aggressive towards smaller creatures. My friend had a pet mouse and a gold retriever, no issues. The mouse would ride on the dog at times.
      Sadly not always the case. My family is calm and while my dog is now (Due to being 13) She wasn't always. When she was not calm we had degus, and my dog would sit by the cage, hoping that she could eat them. Whenever we took them out to clean the cage or just pay, my dog was there ready to snack on them if she could.
      Each of the degus passed (We had 4) Penny, Oreo, Twipper and Maria. Penny was the only male, and died early on. (was the most hyper and hated being held, ended up being so calm that it wanted to be held.)
      Oreo was very calm, and lost a foot from the real (Sinning wheel broke her foot and she started eating the dead flesh, eventually it was just a skeletal foot sticking out, And she eventually broke that off. We had gotten twipper to keep her company. Oreo passed around the age of 5.
      Twipper was about 3 when we got Maria. (Who was my sister's professor's degu and about the same age as twipper) He figured i was best to let them have companionship. They both eventually passed. Around the same time.

      I think so too! Charlie ( I think he is the breed Newfoundland ) needs a furbaby friend, and would make a very good foster dad, for orphaned baby animals that needed comfort, a warm body to nuzzle into, like this little chipmunk did, just like a real momma animal would do. I've seen many rescue groups have a nurturing dog care for the smaller orphans , until they got a little bigger and stronger, then gently play with them even outside until they are able to make it in the rescue on their own. These are very touching to watch too, except the endings are happy. Charlie could possibly be tested to be a foster dad doggie! His deep feelings over his orphan friend's passing touched me deeply too!😥😊😊🐶🐿️💜💜💜💙💙💙🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺

      "Research shows that crows and other corvids (a family of birds that includes ravens and magpies) “know what they know and can ponder the content of their own minds,” according to a 2020 study in STAT. This is considered a cornerstone of self-awareness and shared by just a handful of animal species besides humans."
