A Concern

Unfortunately, in the zoo, there was no other nursing lioness who could be a second mother to this lion cub. The zoo authorities needed another idea to help this animal. And this idea was totally out of the box.

Maybe

The zoo had even inhabited a she-dog named Carmen. And luckily the dog recently only gave birth to a litter of puppies. The zookeepers came up with the idea that maybe this dog could help them with this lion cub. Maybe she could just feed him. Was this even possible?

Vague Thought

Even imagining a dog feeding a lion cub was itself a thought too good to be true. A dog family feeding a cat family? This was a very vague thought and an assumption too tough to happen. But the zookeepers were firm on giving it a try once.

Caring One

Carmen was a sheepdog-the breed which is known for being extra protective of their young ones. She was a caring and loving mother whose foremost priority was her newborns. This basic instinct of a sheepdog made zookeepers think that she would adopt the cub. Little did they know it wasn’t an easy one.

First Step

Carmen already had her many puppies to look after and none could guarantee if she would be up for feeding another being. Her paws were already full with her puppies. But without further delay, the zookeepers took the first step and it was a little dangerous.

Placing Him

The staff at the zoo placed the cub near to the sheepdog. It was a risky step that they were taking as none was sure of the dog’s reaction to this decision. They just hoped that this idea works and the little one gets a mother. But was he lucky enough to get one?
