Most cats and dogs barely get along , but this couple is just inseparable friends . Four-month-old Cheetah Casey and nine-month-old Ridgeback Mtani from the zoo Busch Zoo in Tampa ( FL ), appeared in each other's lives by accident , and immediately became friends .
Cheetah joined the dog after he refused to suckle his mother . Rather on the contrary , the dog was brought to the animal rescue centre , so the little Cheetah was not so lonely . Cheetahs are very socialized animals and often create large swarms uniting several families .
Tim Smith , one of the Rangers , says that now Mtani and Casey incredibly warm relationship . They live in a cage , spending time together from morning to evening . Cheetah loves to chase the dog , playing catch-up and completely oblivious to the audience at the aviary .
