Come for the animals, but stay for the friendships.<\/p>\n

When traveling to the Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey, lucky visitors will get to view a variety of species and exhibits. But perhaps it’s one unlikely pairing that will truly grab the attention of animal lovers across the country.<\/p>\n

CBS New York<\/a> recently put a spotlight on Nandi who is a cheetah that calls the Turtle Back Zoo home. For over a year, the animal has had an inseparable relationship with Bowie.<\/p>\n

Who’s Bowie you may ask? Oh, he’s a Labrador retriever and therapy dog<\/p>\n

In a report by CBS New York’s Meg Baker, viewers learn that this pair shares toys, plays in snow and offers support to one another.<\/p>\n

They’ve been together since they were a few weeks old and after all this time, they are thick as thieves. “Is that a cheetah and a puppy?!” the zoo shared on Facebook<\/a>. “We enjoyed discussing the relationship our Animal Ambassador’s Nandi & Bowie have developed over the last year with reporter Meg Baker last night on CBS.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The unlikely duo has also been featured on NBC’s Today<\/em> <\/a>show where viewers learned Bowie helps Nandi with “confidence and in the wild, cheetahs are actually shy\u2026It really helps with their confidence. They will be lifelong friends.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With less than 7,000 cheetahs left in the wild, zoo officials hope stories like this will remind animals lovers about just how special these creatures are.<\/p>\n

As for us, we can’t stop watching their friendship and playful hugs above.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
