The female dingo obtains some of the moisture she needs to produce milk for her puppies by eating their droppings.
Picture from NY Times
Both male and female dingoes take responsibility for rearing their
young.
Both parents will collect food for their pups, traveling long
distances from the burrow and leaving potential prey nearby and
untouched, so the pups can later learn to hunt it for themselves, but is the female dingo who provides them with milk.
Although fully weaned, a pup may still approach its mother for
regurgitated food.
