Have you ever imagined a dog giving birth to kittens? Fantastic as it may sound, one dog in a county of Jiangxi Province found a way to make it happen.

Zen, a farmer from Hukou County, took a stray dog home last year. Last March, the dog gave birth to two puppies. Not long ago, the dog became pregnant again; on Monday, it delivered two yellow-haired kittens and one black-haired puppy.

Neighbours could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the mother nursing two new-born kittens. So far no one can offer an explanation.
