Cheetah And Dog Are The Best Of Friends

April 23, 2012

If you love the move The Fox and The Hound, then this story is right up your alley. In March of last year, Tampa’s Busch Gardens got a baby, orphaned cheetah. Male cheetahs are not solitary animals. In fact, they create very strong bonds with their brothers, which are called “coalitions.” For this reason, the park decided the little, fuzzy cheetah needed a best friend and because dogs have very similar behavioral patterns, an adorable 6-week old Labrador retriever from a local shelter was chosen to be the orphan’s adopted brother. After training and supervised visits, the two became inseparable companions as you can see by the amazing pictures below. Recently Kasi the cheetah and Mtani the pup, celebrated their one year anniversary. Happy anniversary, you two!(dog walking services nyc)
