Anna and Arusha: Unlikely Pair, Best of Friends

When little Arusha the cheetah came to the San Diego Zoo, the wildlife care specialists felt he needed a companion. Another cheetah wasn’t a possibility, though, so they introduced him to a golden retriever named Anna. In just a few days, Anna was like a big sister to Arusha. The pair thrived as San Diego Zoo wildlife ambassadors and taught thousands of guests about cheetah conservation.
