Dog Steps In as Nanny to Orphan Cheetah Cubs (WATCH)
What to do when a cheetah dies during labor leaving hungry cubs? Watch how this dog steps in as a nurturing surrogate nurse maid.

 

Blakely the dog is an unlikely nanny for a litter of jungle cats, but the Cincinnati Zoo had to think outside the spots.

Five cheetah cubs were born by C-section on March 8th in Ohio, a difficult birth that caused the mother, Willow, to pass away in labor.

Now Blakely the resident nursery dog is the cubs' new companion, stepping in when they needed a caring adult.
