兩年前俄羅斯一家動物園內的黑猩猩媽媽遺棄了它的寶寶,一名飼養員將小猩猩帶回家,另她出乎意料的是,她養的一只馬士提夫獒犬“收留”了這只小猩猩,如媽媽一般呵護它,將小猩猩與其它狗寶寶一起撫養。

Chimp's best friend: This huge bull mastiff accepted the baby as one of her own litter after his mother abandoned him

Give us a cuddle: Her puppies also seemed perfectly happy to be playmates to the little chimp who loves cuddles
