Dog Nurses Baby Pandas

A mother’s love is pretty powerful – even if she’s your adoptive mother. A dog in China is nursing two red pandas in the Taiyuan Zoo. Red pandas are endangered in China and this sweet dog is doing what she can to help them.
The babies’ mother abandoned them immediately after they were born. Their adoptive mother has done her job though because the babies are now eight inches long, twice their size at birth.
