An Ohio zoo has given 10-week-old cheetah cub, Emmett, an interesting new friend.
Columbus Zoo paired the new arrival with 7-week-old puppy Cullen, and the two will be raised as brothers.
Emmett caught pneumonia shortly after being born and was hand-reared for several weeks.
The cheetah chose Cullen as his 'companion puppy' when he was given to the zoo by conservation project The Wilds.
The puppy will help Emmett to be more confident and calm, as cheetahs are naturally skittish animals.
