The mothering instincts of dogs


I have seen cats nurse kittens that were not their own. I have seen cows nurse calves that were not there own. Dogs on the other hand seem more than willing to nurse other animals that are not dogs. The photo above proves my point. Here you have 2 tiger cubs in a China zoo whose tiger mother was playing naughty nurse by not having enough milk for the cubs. The dog came to the rescue.
