At a private zoo in Wojciechów, Poland, a little lion cub named Parys was abandoned by his mother, Ela, leaving him afraid and alone.

Ewa Wiktorowska, a zoo employee, adopted young Parys and brought him home to live with her and Carmen, an Old English Sheepdog who had just given birth to five puppies.

The loving dog showed immediate affection for Parys, and soon the cub was cuddling up to its new family and even nursing from Carmen.

Parys has gained a lot of weight since moving into his new house and enjoys playing with his five new siblings.
