This bizarre video which appears to show baby goats being breastfed by a DOG has been slammed as 'sinful' online by stunned commenters.

The short clip reveals a chained dog sitting in the dirt as her female owner approaches accompanied by two cute baby goats.

The dog then stands up and lets the kids suckle.

Filmed in Kazakhstan, famed in comedy as Sacha Baron Cohen character Borat's homeland, it's believed the animals’ mother could have refused to feed them.

Other Instagram were confused, with user dyusilyaga commenting: "Was it a male dog? I am not a village boy, could you please explain this to me."

Oother users praised the dog, with meir_king saying: "What the f***? This stray dog is much better than some woman who left her children. She even accepts children who are not hers as her own!"
