A stray dog in Memphis, TN is lucky to be alive after ending up in the tigers exhibit at the local zoo.
The dog, a 50-pound female retriever mix got into the Memphis Zoo through a service entrance. Workers chased the dog but before they could catch her, she jumped over a railing and retaining wall straight into the tiger exhibit.
Two Sumatran tigers came out & the female attacked the dog. Luckily for the dog the tiger was born in captivity, so even though she had the dog in her grasp for several minutes, she didn’t kill it because she hadn’t developed her hunting instincts.
Zoo workers distracted the tigers & were able to get the dog out & rushed her to the vet.
