A 10-year-old lab recently became the guardian of nine ducklings after staff at Mountfitchet Castle in Essex saw them wandering around the grounds alone last Thursday.

"Fred the resident dog at the Castle stepped up to the challenge when nine little ducklings became orphaned last Thursday," Mountfitchet Castle wrote on Facebook. "The ducklings' mum had disappeared and a member of staff found them waddling around the castle grounds alone. The team were very worried about the ducklings but Fred, a 10 year old Labrador, immediately took to them and has been babysitting ever since."
