Golden retriever nurtures five adopted tiger cubs whose mother abandoned them, she raises them as her own children in heartwarming display of unconditional love (Video)

Family isn't always something you're born into, animal fam. It's something you choose. Just like you and we have never met before, we still consider you our family because we "meet" here every day to express our love for everything-animal together. One day, we're giggling over glorious good boy memes and the next, we're fawning over itty bitty baby animals that bring a smile to our faces. But today, we want to focus on family. Families come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, and in the animal kingdom, they don't even have to be made up of the same species!

When these five tiger cubs were abandoned by their mother, they thought all was lost. Cubs need a mom, and the zoo was out of momma tigers. However, a golden retriever became the stepmom who stepped up and raised the cute cubs as her own children. Even as they got bigger, she never feared to discipline them like they were still teeny tiny babies. This whole video shows that love, in its pawsitively purest form, is not dependent on looks or even species. Watch the whole thing below!
