the cubs, whom officials at the jinan paomaling wild animal world in shandong province are so far just calling "one," "two" and "three," have been nursed by a dog since they were rejected by their tiger mother shortly after birth, said paomaling manager chen yucai.

yes, i agree with you that is a very happy news to hear. all the more we will think of dogs as excellent pets and reliable caretakers. imagine, the dog feeding a litter which is not hers. those baby tigers, how lucky are the ones who can take hold of them while they are still very friendly cubs. i have a good idea as to how cute and cuddly these babies are. my love goes for them when i see them at discovery channel and whenever i see those photographs that they feature in national geographic.

it appears that it is a good sight to see that dog nursing the tiger triplets. i hope that the tiger triplets will inherit the dogs traits because of this. then at last, there will be tigers which shall be good friends to men and loyal ones, too. hehehe. have i gone too far? yet, i honestly think that this is going to do a lot of good to all of us, it this will really happen. seriously speaking, it is good that there is an available and willing dog to nurse the triplets since birth. dogs are really reliable pets.
