Besides for the chance of being eaten alive, everyone dreams of having a pet tiger. 

Zookeeper Kevin Thatcher had the next best thing.

He worked at the Bowmanville Zoo back in 2008 when they were raising a young 6 month old tiger named Jonas. Every night, one worker was required to take Jonas home so they could keep up with his hourly feeding schedule. 

The bonus of taking Jonas home for the night was you got to cuddle with a tiger while watching TV!

DailyPicks reports that the video is going viral across the web, such as on Facebook, WorldStar, and more!
