Orphaned Chimp Raised By Mastiff

Posted by A Place To Love Dogs on Thursday, July 12, 2012

Having just given birth to four puppies herself, this loving Mastiff didn’t mind adding one more to her litter of pups, even though it didn’t have a tail to wag and was suspiciously wearing a diaper.

Wouldn’t it be great if humans had the capacity to love unconditionally like animals do? Love this story.
