Who says dogs and cats can't coexist?

A dog in Tennessee named Chloe is quietly and lovingly dispelling any rumors about bad blood between the species as she cares for a litter of kittens.

Chloe cared for her own puppies in August, and when the family feline, Momma Cat, recently gave birth to a litter, Chloe assumed the role of backup mother.

Amazingly, the arrangement has worked out splendidly.

"I saw one nursing and I thought oh, it's not going to get any milk. It needs to nurse on mommy," Rebecca Thomas, who owns Chloe and Momma Cat, told WBIR. "I pulled it away and saw milk and realized the kitten's fine, it's getting milk."

As if the Chicago Cubs needed any more motivation to end their century-long World Series drought, the franchise got some in the form of goat's head delivered to Wrigley Field on Wednesday.

The Chicago Tribune reported that a package containing an animal's head was dropped off at Wrigley Field and addressed to Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts. Police quickly removed the package and are investigating the incident.

The prank is likely a reference to the fabled Curse of the Billy Goat. In 1945, the last time the Cubs appeared in the World Series, bar owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave Wrigley Field because the odor of his goat was disturbing other fans. As the story goes, Sianis was so outraged that he put a curse on the team, saying it would never win a World Series at Wrigley Field.

Over the years repeated attempts have been made to break the curse, including several others involving dead goats.

But, alas, the Cubs have still not won the pennant since 1945.

We've seen how talented the Oregon Zoo otters can become.

But just like humans must learn to crawl before they can walk, these otters must learn to swim before they can dunk.

And apparently, the process of teaching a baby otter to swim is absolutely adorable.

In a new video released by the Oregon Zoo, a baby otter named Molalla gets a swimming lesson. You see, otters don't know how to swim when they're born, so they have to be taught by their parents. In this compilation, you can see Molalla's mother, Tilly, dragging the youngster into the water and quite literally teaching it how to swim.

We've seen friendships between a deer and a dog as well as a lion and a dog. But a man and a pelican?

This has to be a first.

Three months ago Richard Dunn, a dock worker at the Island Moorings Marina in Port Aransas, Texas, saw a pelican with a fishing hook stuck in his breast and wing. So Dunn caught the pelican and removed the hook. Dunn thought that was the end of their relationship.

But the next day, the pelican -- since named Pete -- was back. And ever since that initial meeting, Pete has returned to Dunn's side to accompany him throughout his work day. The two have become so close that when someone asks Dunn about Pete, sometimes Dunn is embarrassed to say he doesn't know where Pete is.

"It makes me feel guilty," Dunn told KIII TV in Texas.

Pete, who won't come close to strangers, even jokes around with Dunn. On occasion, when Dunn tries to feed Pete, the pelican will bite Dunn's hand, roll over and put his wing over his head.

"He's quite the ham sometimes," Dunn said.
