Tiger Cub Who Was Rejected By His Mother At Birth Finds Solace In The Bosom Of A Little Dog
The little wild cub was not wanted by his mother soon after his birth, and his life seemed terrible. However, everything changed when he met the most amicable dog on the planet!
Hunter, a lovable Bengal tiger cub, was rejected by his mother shortly after birth. He was rescued from captivity, where he had been held for quite some time.
He was saved and brought to the Farm Inn Wildlife Sanctuary located in Pretoria, South Africa. However, as often happens to wild creatures held captive, he lost his nurturing instincts, making his life even harder.
A volunteer at the Farm Inn Wildlife Sanctuary named Anthea Michaletos stated that Hunter was born at a time when the female may have felt compromised in some way, which led to her rejection of him. Everyone at the sanctuary thought that little Hunter would not survive without a mother to keep him warm and care for him.
In any case, they were completely wrong. In fact, the downtrodden tiger began to flourish as soon as he met Chelsea, a friendly German Pointer.
Despite the significant differences between the two animals, Hunter and Chelsea quickly became inseparable friends, bringing joy to the hearts of the staff.
After finding himself all alone in this world, a tiger cub learned why dogs are referred to as man's best companions.
Anthea says that when she takes Chelsea out in the morning, she races to Hunter’s cage to greet him. She added that there is a lot of wrestling involved as Chelsea pushes him over, and afterward, he bounces on her.
Come and give me a big hug!
Having a four-legged companion is exceptionally beneficial for Hunter because he can play as he would if he had another littermate. He is the only cub in his litter, so it is crucial for him to have a companion.
The animal world never ceases to amaze us with its incredibly unusual kinds of friendships.
Chelsea and Hunter are just one of many incredible examples of the unlikely friendships that help animals thrive and leave us in awe.
It's playtime!
However, this wonderful bond may not last forever, as Anthea mentioned that it could become risky for them to play together when Hunter reaches the age of six months.
Chelsea and Hunter are having a good time together
Well, no one can really say for sure what will happen, but certainly anything is possible. Nevertheless, the animal world never ceases to amaze us with its incredibly unusual kinds of friendships!

Nowadays, we see many animals forming friendships with others that they wouldn’t ordinarily befriend. You can imagine being friends with a predator, but instead of being eaten, you build a strong friendship together.
That is the kind of friendship that exists between Chelsea and Hunter, but will it last forever? No one knows. Please drop your comments about this post below.
