Happy News : Golden Retriever cares for Tiger Cubs

Now there's been lots of unpleasant news in Canada today (gory tragedies) but this sort of saves the day (it's from Kansas though but works anyway):

Three tiger cubs at a Kansas zoo are getting some maternal care from an unlikely source - Isabella the golden retriever.

The tiger cubs were born on Sunday at Safari Zoological Park but their mother soon stopped caring for them. Isabella had just weaned her own puppies and was able to step in.

Zoo owner Tom Harvey says, "The timing couldn't have been any better."

He says it's unusual for dogs to care for tiger cubs, but it does happen. Isabella licks, cleans and feeds the cubs just like her own puppies.

Safari Zoological Park specialises in endangered species. It has leopards, lions, baboons, ring-tailed lemurs, bears and other animals.
