Warm, Fuzzy, Feel-Good Animal Stories

Every now and again, I get tired and depressed from reading political news stories. So when the thought of forcing myself through my Politico, The Hill, and Daily Caller RSS feeds seems unbearable, I take a little break to look at what's going on in the animal kingdom. Stories about animals -- I especially like the warm, fuzzy, feel-good stories -- provide a much needed respite from the drivel emanating from Washington. Here are a few good ones I've come across today:
Chimpanzees Hold Funeral for Deceased 9-year-old Chimp
Hungry Eagle Nabs Stray Poodle, But Has Second Thoughts
Alabama Dog Crawls Home to Family on Broken Legs After Tornado
Surrogate Canine Mother Feeds Pair of Liger (Half Lion, Half Tiger) Cubs

Such does provide some solace, perhaps we could all learn something if the time was taken....

Re: Warm, Fuzzy, Feel-Good Animal Stories
Yeah, I'm a sucker for those stories, too.
But I hate it when you post them: they're just snark-proof.

The skeptic in me says those Ligers will turn on the dog and eat it the moment they get big.....

I LOVE tornado dog!! And Miracle Poodle!!! They should have named her Shirataki.
I always worry a little when I see these Asian zoos with orphaned tigers though.. I don't trust them with tigers, ligers, or any other magical potion ingredient.

I live right in the middle of the tedious political scene here in DC, and after a while you just tune it out and make an occasional 'weekend visit'. It just becomes noise level after a while. And I do like feelgood stories such as these.

Oh?
You don't say!
Why would anyone do this? Yah, sure, the cubs are cute and little now, but I'd bet you'd rather a 500lb lion sitting on you than a 800lb liger.
