Dog’s Best Friend: Cutest Canine Companions

At Myrtle Beach South Carolina, there are over 100 animals at the T.I.G.E.R.S Preserve. A place that gives visitors first-hand interaction with wild animals. But the first star of our show is a hound dog, named Roscoe whose best friend is an Orangutan named Suria.

At Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio - home to more than 250 animals - a Labrador retriever called Carlisle is DBF?s with a pack of cheetahs, the fastest land animal on Earth and an equally social species.

A friendship reaches new heights when a hunting dog makes friends with a creature who could have been his prey. In Northern California, Bailey, the Husky puppy, has made an unlikely friendship with a Ragdoll cat called Leon. Playing together on a regular basis, no fighting like cats and dogs here.

Kangaroo, or Roo as she's affectionately called, is a rescue from the Middle East. Born with a birth defect, Roo's front legs never fully developed. A local Beirut rescue saved Roo and sent her to Canada in the hope of a better life for her. She strikes a strong bond with another rescue dog.

At an ecotourism zoo in Florida, owner Kelsey?s dog Tiber is a bundle of relentless energy. To help exhaust his seemingly inexhaustible nature Kelsey decided to put Tiber in with another spirited playmate, a tiger cub called Thunder, who had been rejected by his mother at birth.

The Lenihan's are almost like a modern-day circus family, tending a sum of 30 animals. Included in the mix is their family dog who brings them all together. Hondo, a German Shepherd, mixed breed. He has no shortage of playmates but has chosen a solitary Coatimundi to be his BFF.
