This is a story about a leopard and a Golden Retriever who are best friends:

Seriously, I want to be one of those animals.  Either one.  'Cause one way, I'd get to be a leopard, and the other way I'd get to have a leopard who loves me.

heh cute  ^^

I've actually seen such friendships before: its a way of getting a normally shy wild animal to appear before large crowds, a human-familiarized domenstic animal (usually a dog), will be made friends with them, so that when the dog is happy & content with a large audience or crowd, the other animal will see that the dog is not afraid, and will thus take security from that. IE, the san diego zoo has such a friendship with one of their wild cats who makes public appearences - as I recall that the dog there was also a golden retriever (And not entirely by chance) X3

That's a really clever strategy.

Cute story,
Nice to read something pleasant on the internet for once.

Aww, they look so cute together in those photos in the link 

And everyone says, "Awww~~~".

They are really cute.
And that strategy is quite useful, getting a wild/nervous animal to calm down by familiarizing it with another, another, more friendly animal as a companion.

*Insert extremely drawn out "awwwww..." here* 

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Type square brackets around "img" one side of the url and square brackets around "/img" on the other side.  ([ i m g ]  url goes here  [ / i m g ] <--except without the extra spaces.)  There's also a little button with a tiny square picture of a landscape on the far left, right above all the little cat emoticons.





And those are really cute.

This also all makes me think of Owen and Mzee, the orphaned hippo and the giant tortoise who took him under his... um... wing?

What about a Meerkat and a Warthog? Well..We already knew that they were best friends !

Is that "Akunamatata" they're singing?

 

Oh my!



Now, that's a neat combination of unlikely friends.  Here's the story behind them:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/6750373/Tiger-lion-and-bear-form-unusual-friendship.html

Here's an owl and black cat who are friends:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqmba7npY8g

It kinda makes you wonder if Hogwarts is nearby.

Storm Fox, my coworker sent me a link to that pair yesterday! Allow me to share another picture:

This is the best image ever. At all. Oh my god I'm squealing like an idiot.

I'd like to become better friends with the blond in the middle, as unlikely as that may be.

I'm surprised no body linked to one of the more infamous unlikely friends, Ao-chan the snake and Gohan-chan the hamster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IG4kceZBWA

That first picture reminds me of the way our cats rub up against our dogs.

I’ve never heard of those two before, but that is definitely beyond strange, almost creepy.



Here is another I came across,
