Two years ago in a Russian zoo a female chimpanzee for some reson repudiated and abandoned her baby chimpanzee. When one of the employees of the zoo took the little chimpanzee home it never crossed her mind that her dog, a mastiff, would become a mother for the orphan chimpanzee and treat the cute little baby as her own child. The chimp also gets along with the rest of the zookeeper's dogs, however, the mastiff and her seem to be like peas and carrots.
