Momma Dog Adopts Most Peculiar Infant

What an amazing story! It seems like we can never get enough of the pupper awesomeness. They keep us at our toes with their antics and melt us into puddles of mush when they turn on their charm. Although, however cute they may be, nothing makes us love them more than when they become the heroes in the story. This one comes to us from Beijing, China and it is definitely something you wouldn’t have ever thought of.

We often hear stories about baby animals left alone in the wild. The cause can be different each time, from moms who weren’t able to recognize their own babies because they smelled like someone else, moms who didn’t have enough milk to give to their babies to mothers who left their frail babies behind to save the healthy ones when the situation asked for them to do it. No one said that survival in the wilderness was fair, but luckily, not all of these babies continue on the same grim path they were lead on.

Every now and then there is a silver lining in these stories and the little ones get the happily ever after they weren’t expecting. One such case is this lion cub from Badaling Safari in Beijing. The little one was left to its own devices after his mommy couldn’t feed him. Luckily, the staff at the Safari was able to find him a substitute by employing a canine mom to look after its needs. Together with the three other “children” they are inseparable. Ah, we just love happy endings!
