Well, do I have a fun fact for you then: Cheetahs are such anxious and easily stressed animals that zoos consistently failed to set up breeding programs until somebody had a bright idea and paired up a cheetah cub with a golden retriever puppy to be raised together.

Growing up with a lifelong friend in such a chill and loving dog breed allows them to live a lot less anxiously, and has been so successful with keeping cheetahs happy and healthy that the practice has been adopted all over the place.

Dogs are full of love and want to help, even if that's by simply existing in the same space as you.

Cheetahs are just so wonderfully weird. Basically big housecats that are also rocket powered apex predators.

Also, I love The Cheetah Whisperer.
