Fellowship defies rationality in every way. Despite their obvious differences, this tiger offspring and pup became the best of pals.
The tiny doggy is only three weeks older than the tiger, and both are being considered for admission to the shelter.
The tiger offspring was left by his own mother just a few days after birth, and he had to be separated from her.
These two tiny gentlemen are currently indistinguishable due to Athea, the sanctuary director.
‘When I take the puppy out in the morning, she will race to his enclosure and greet him,’ she explained. ‘There’s a lot of wrestling involved; the puppy pulls him over and then he jumps on her.’
Having a four-legged companion is extremely beneficial to him since he can play in the same way he would with another litter mate.
He had to have a friend because he was the only cub in his litter.’
This unlikely couple spends a lot of time playing together under the supervision of the caretaker.
The pup appears to be getting along with the tiger so far, and their wonderful friendship can continue.
