Zimba, a 3-month-old lion cub, is one of the most popular residents at Hungary’s Gyoengyoes Zoo, according to the Sun. Since the cub’s arrival (the zoo received him as a gift from a private Italian donor), he’s had an unusual companion in the form of Bogi, a 3-year-old male puli. (We know what you’re thinking: Where are Bogi’s cords? While many puli owners -- and owners of a related breed, the komondor -- choose to let their dogs’ fur grow naturally into cords, others keep their coats brushed instead. While they look less like a Beck album cover that way, we bet they’re easier to dry after a bath!)
Bogi has taken on the role of foster parent for Zimba, who came to the zoo without his mother. Fortunately for Zimba, he has a doting little herding dog to pick up the slack! See another photo of these two after the jump.
