A good Samaritan found baby opossums last month after their mother was killed in Brazil, and took them to pet behaviorist Stephanie Maldonado for safekeeping.
Surprisingly, they bonded better with her dog.

She wrote on Facebook: "It's very nice to see all the care that she has with them, licking them all the time and nestling them."
