Dog adopts tiger triplets

A Chinese dog has become the surrogate mother of tiger triplets born at a zoo in the country's eastern Shandong province.The mongrel bitch called Huani is suckling the tiger cubs, imaginatively named One, Two and Three by staff at Jinan Paomaling Wild Animal World, because their mother rejected them shortly after birth 10 days ago.The zoo manager, Chen Yucai, said Huani is expected to nurse the tigers for about a month, or until their appetites outpace her milk supply.
