How One Awesome Dog Adopted an Orphaned Chimpanzee

There’s no one in the world like mothers, and the power of a mother’s love can even cross the lines of species!

This baby chimpanzee was orphaned at the local zoo when his mother died.

One of the zookeepers took it home to care for it, and their family dog just happened to have given birth to a litter of puppies.

So the chimp jumped right in.

He quickly fell in love with his new mommy.

She raised him like one of her own.

All mothers are amazing, but let’s give a special shout-out  to all of those who have adopted children.
