When these two adorable tiger cubs were rejected by their mother shortly after birth, their future was uncertain.

But the two tiny fur balls are now growing up fast thanks to an unlikely surrogate mother - a white labrador dog.

Protective Xiao Meng has acted as surrogate to the cute tiger cubs, as well as looking after her own puppy in Jiangxi Province, China.

The two cubs had been rejected by their mother due to her lack of experience.

However, they seem to be recovering well under the watchful eye of Xiao Meng.

Tiger cubs can occasionally be rejected by their parents if they have not had offspring before or have been raised in captivity.
