Cheetah and labrador become best buddies

A cheetah cub and labrador puppy raised together at an animal park are the best of friends a year later.

Kasi the cheetah was just eight-weeks-old when he was introduced to Mtani, a 16-week-old female labrador.

At the time Mtani towered over her younger friend and let the tiny cub clamber all over her.

Now, a year later, the pair are the same height, and live together full time in the Cheetah habitat at Busch Gardens, Tampa, Florida.
