If you haven't seen it yet and want to feel all Christmassy, here's a video of a dog adopting orphaned tiger cubs.

The cubs, born in Oktyabrsky zoo in Russia, were apparently abandoned by their birth mother Bagira.

The white Swiss shepherd named Tallim has taken the cubs into her care, even feeding and cuddling them.

Doesn't that make you feel all festive and full of joy?
