Another cute stories from Peoplepets!


A dog feeds a cub! At Siberia's Royev Ruchey Zoo, a 2-day-old lion cub was adopted by a mutt after its mom died during delivery. (poor thing!) The surrogate sniffed it, licked its head and fed the baby before putting it to bed with its two tiny new puppy siblings. Awwww....wonder what will the baby cub be called? ^^



When an injury forced Mabel the hen inside her home for the winter, she took to raising four Jack Russell terrier puppies —with their mom around! "She climbed on top of them," the animals' owner told PEOPLEPets.com. "She went all broody."


A mixed-breed dog from a local farm became a mommy soon after two panda cubs were rejected by their own mother after giving birth in Taiyuan Zoo, China. Guess it's the sudden labour that made her like that.


Gail Latta's pooch saved three baby squirrels by becoming their mother when the tree they were living in was trimmed.


Hamburg, Germany; A dog named Laska made it her mission to clean and warm two tiny wild boar babies whom were found abandoned by hikers walking in nearby forests.


A big applause for this mother! Being a resident of the Cango Wildlife Reserve in Oudsthoorn, yellow Lab Lisha has been a surrogate to more than 30 orphaned animals over the years, ranging from a porcupine to a pygmy hippo! Her latest charges? Three orphaned tiger cubs, rejected by their mother. "If Lisha sees an animal being brought back in a box, she automatically assumes that it is to be cared for," shares Nadine Hall, her ownder.


When mama cat Velvet was killed by a car near her home in Washington, her owners's daughter's Australian shepherd, Lakota, cleaned and cared for them until they were adopted.


Rhodesian ridgeback Katjinga bonded with this 2-week-old piglet right away. They're compatible so much that Katjinga even began lactating again and fed her hungry charge.


German shepherd Luka gladly stepped up as surrogate mom (p/s: she has never been a mom before!) to six 5-week-old kittens after their mom was killed tragically in a brushfire.


Pup Tinkerbell was at an animal hospital giving birth when a man walked in with three orphaned kittens. Lucky them, Tinkerbell accepted them!
