Dog nurses tiger cubs

At a zoo in Sochi, Russia, a White Swiss Shepherd dog, named Tally, adopted and nursed three tiger cubs after they were abandoned by their birth mother.

Vets reportedly made an advertisement online, seeking for a "feeding" dog – a female that is producing milk for its own litter.

Tally was eventually chosen and is now treating the young tigers as her own puppies.
