This dog and the cheetah met as children, two years later, they are still inseparable

At the San Diego Zoo, Rooks the cheetah was the only kitten in his litter. At the same time, female cheetahs often abandon the only kitten from the litter; instinct tells them that one baby will not survive in the wild. So when Rooks' mom abandoned him, zoo staff intervened. They gave the baby a friend because he had no brothers and sister. Their choice fell on an eight-month-old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, who was named Raina. The zoo wanted Ruksa and Raina to live together all the time, because Raina, with the help of body language, will always be able to calm Ruksa even if he is faced with an unfamiliar situation.
