While cheetahs might be quite the big cats and the fastest animal on the Earth they are very sensitive. They don’t know how to socialize with each other and that’s why they need help as they’re becoming extinct.-The solution “support dogs”, the most unexpected of animal friendships!

It’s a love story of one species helping another species to survive. When you pair a cheetah cub with a guide dog, the cat looks to the dog for cues and learns to model their behavior.
