Dog mothers orphaned Lion and Tiger Cubs

Dog mothers orphaned cubs with her milk at China's Hefei Zoo.

A stray dog has saved the lives of three lion cubs and a tiger after becoming their surrogate mother at China's Hefei Zoo.
The black mongrel has been licking, cleaning and feeding the cubs since June after they were rejected by their mothers.
The facility's staff have successfully used canines in the past to raise abandoned big cats and bears.
The newborn animals are sprayed with dog urine to make the maternal animal think they belong to her.
She will reportedly feed her adopted babies for a month until they outgrow her milk supply.
