We’ve all seen the William Purkey quote that says
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”
But did you know there’s a dog version of it? Continue reading Dance Like There’s No One Watching…

“Are You My Mother?” said the tiger to the dog.
I know this has happened before, but it still amazes me. At the zoo in Qingdao, China, a baby Siberian tiger was abandoned by its mother. It wasn’t long before a dog stepped in to nurse the tiger and act as its mother. Don’t you just love the picture? I think the tiger looks like a Shar-pei. I’m sure they’re really stripes, but they look like wrinkles.
Check out People Pet’s photo gallery of other surrogate moms. Dare you not to say “Awwwwww…” at least once!
