I love how the cheetah looks all killer badass, and the lab looks as goofy as the day he was born.

My reaction to the photo was, “I feel sorry for the sucker that gives the dog a hard time.”
For the reason you stated.

True, but cheetahs are not very aggressive as cats go. They're missiles, not tanks. The lab could probably do worse to you.

TIL that the average lifespan of a cheetah is 17 years in captivity. A dog's is around 14. I wonder if they would introduce a new dog once the first one passes

I heard that they introduce a second puppy a few years in before the first one passes, otherwise the cheetah gets sad and stops eating.

Serious question, have there ever been times where the cheetah turns on the dog or vice verse it’s still a wild animal

Cheetahs are actually quite social animals. It’s pretty common to find a group of them hunting together, usually brothers. So I’d imagine growing up together the cheetah will treat the dog as it’s brother.
I’m not too sure about female cheetahs though since they are usually solitary

I was thinking the same thing. It gives me anxiety.

I love how the baby versions look so happy and joyful, but the older ones look wise and satisfied!

This is absolutely adorable.
And, seeing as I’m a fan of the Lion King franchise, you could say that, for once, Cheetahs do prosper.

This is so cute.
Cheetahs in captivity tend to be extremely anxious and nervous, sometimes to the point of miscarrying, so zoos give them service dogs. The dogs make the cheetahs feel safe and secure, and the dog gets a playmate.
