A month-old pony named Mile is the newest resident of an apartment building in the northern Croatian coastal town of Rovinj.

Mile has moved in temporarily to his owners' fourth-floor flat because his mother rejected him at birth. He also needs round-the-clock care after undergoing an operation for a life-threatening infection in neighboring Slovenia, where people donated to cover the costs of his treatment.

"Every two hours, we warm up his milk and feed him," owner Andjelka Josipovic said. "If we forget to feed him, he wakes up, comes to us and rouses us up.”

Josipovic lives in a one-bedroom flat with her partner Kristijan Jelenic, her two sons, a dog and now Mile.
