Best friends forever.
Suria the Siberian tiger lives at a Slovakian wildlife sanctuary along with her four-month-old cub, Sunny
The two-year-old tiger is close friends with a pack of three German shepherds called Blacky, Hugo and Jenny
The animals were all born at the Oasis wildlife sanctuary in Senec, Slovakia run by big cat expert Yveta Irsova
According to volunteers, the sanctuary is part of a breeding programme to help save the Siberian Tiger
The oasis opened in 1999 and houses 28 tigers, 23 of which were born there
The Siberian tiger is facing extinction because of hunting and a loss of its natural habitat in its native home in far eastern Russia
See more delightful images of these animals at play
Play fighting is fun
They met as babies and became fast friends
Inseparable friends.
Suria, the tiger, and Hugo, the dog..
They never hurt each other, no matter how rough the play fights.
Cute Sunny at four months old.

Playing chase. The fun never stops.
