It is always comforting to see animals that are best friends, and is very special when they are two different species. Here is the story of a dog and a cat who are best friends, but this is not just a cat.
Ruuxa is the cat, or more specifically, a cheetah. He was abandoned by his mother, so it was his assistants at the San Diego Zoo who raised him. They knew it was essential for Ruuxa to have a friend to socialize with.
A lack of cheetah pieces puppies, was introduced to Raina, an eight-week Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. According to the guarantor of animal training, Janet Rose-Hinostroza, "point link from an early age was that they would have a relationship that would be more like brothers than friends." It certainly worked! Ruuxa and Raina became inseparable.
There is a relatively common genetic anomaly among cheetahs that prevents the front legs from developing properly. Ruuxa was affected by this condition and at the age of four months she underwent surgery to correct the problem.
No one knew how he would do it later, if he was able or willing to walk again. It seemed very unlikely that he could run at the cheetah's full speed (an incredible 70 miles per hour).
Janet recalled: "They feared that Ruuxa and Raina could not socialize for a couple of weeks, because we wanted to be very careful with healing legs could not keep away from Ruuxa Raina or Ruuxa away from Raina were separated for fifteen minutes .. .
