Why, in some cases, do animals take care of young humans who have been abandoned?

Most of the time, feral children are raised by social animals. The animals are capable of recognizing the value of a human: in the case of a feral girl in Ukraine (raised by wild dogs), the dogs certainly understood that she could get them food.

Additionally, the feeling of "cuteness" is probably an evolved trait: neoteny has been favored throughout evolutionary history (humans, domestication of dogs, even the evolution of birds). Cuteness evolved to use neoteny as a way to preserve survival among hostile animals and to preserve the bond between parent and offspring. Some animals are so evolved to be cute that they can sway even non-related animals.
