A golden retriever has adopted three white tiger cubs abandoned by their mother at a southeast Kansas zoo, the AP reports. The Safari Zoological Park's owner says the dog, who recently weaned her own puppies, licks, cleans, and feeds the days-old cubs as if they were her own.
"The timing couldn't have been any better," said the owner, who added that he got the golden retriever after his wife saw television stories of dogs caring for tiger cubs. The Safari Zoological Park specializes in endangered species.
