This dog has grown up alongside two lion cubs in a South African compound and they’ve become inseparable buddies. They’re often spotted playfully wrestling and roughhousing together.
In an adorable video clip, you can see the cubs excitedly pounce on their dog pal, playfully pinning him to the ground while they all enjoy some friendly pawing and tussling.
While their play might look intense, there’s no need to worry. Caretakers are always close by to ensure their games stay safe and that nobody gets too rough.
It’s evident they thoroughly enjoy each other’s company.
Though the lions will eventually return to the wild as they mature, for now, they have their playful canine companion to share their days with.
