Dog Nurses Tiger Cubs
Three rare tiger cubs who were rejected by their mother have a surrogate mom of a different stripe. The one month old Malayan cubs are learning the ropes from an Australian Shepherd named Blakely. The Cincinnati Zoo matched the 6-year-old canine with the newborn felines so he could teach them tiger etiquette. Blakely has also helped zoo handlers nurture cheetahs, skunks, and a warthog.
