Dogs aren't just man's best friend: They can form a close bond with practically any species. It doesn't matter if you're a human, a horse, a turtle, or yes, even a cat. Take the story about a dog that adopted nine ducklings or these viral photos of puppies playing with lion and tiger cubs at the Beijing Wildlife Park. Dogs can love—and want to play with—just about any other animal. Not convinced? Well, we've rounded up 25 adorable photos of puppies and other animals just to remind you how loving these canine companions can be.
