I felt a little tug at the heartstrings yesterday when I saw Bakka, the handsome cheetah, moving around his enclosure with lots of vocalizing. And I knew why, since I’d just passed the keepers taking Miley and the other two dog ambassadors on a walk. Bakka missed his Miley! She wasn’t far away, and wouldn’t be gone long, but it brought home the depth of connection between this cheetah and his dog. They are truly best friends and have a very special bond!
