Dog is tiger cubs' best friend and milk provider

BEIJING, April 13 -- A dog in Qingdao, Shandong province, is breastfeeding four tiger cubs because the tiger mother isn't doing her job.

After it gave birth in a safari park early Monday, the first-time tiger mother apparently didn't know to feed the cubs.

Since the babies had to be fed within 24 hours after birth, workers encouraged a dog, which recently gave birth to some puppies, to feed the cubs.

The dog previously provided milk to some baby wolves.

Best toilets to be in the spotlight

BEIJING, April 9 -- Workers are busy preparing to roll out the red toilet
***, so to speak, in anticipation of the upcoming awards ceremony scheduled to
take place in Taipei county, Taiwan, this month.

The show will give out awards to the best toilets in the county. Reports
say 180 of the 1,435 public toilets in Taipei county were nominated for awards
in nine categories including the best toilets for men, ladies, travelers, as
well as the most community-friendly john.

A panel of judges will announce the results later this month. The
award-winning toilets will not only get a trophy but will receive anywhere from
NT$5,000 to NT$15,000 ($147-443) which probably wouldn't be flushed away.
