A Mother's love knows no bounds

It was April of 1985, my first trip back to my ancestral village in India after coming to Canada for grad studies, two years earlier. I had with me my new Nikon FE2 camera with a Vivitar 75-205mm zoom lens and a few rolls of Kodachrome films. While walking around the village with my camera and looking for suitable subjects I came across this mother dog nursing a trio of orphaned piglets. Apparently the dog had her own cubs but her heart was big enough to accommodate three piglets. I scanned two slides from that photo shoot, and then sized appropriately to produce this composite. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers of the world. Village Purulia, India.
