Dachshund Milo Is Lion's Best Friend - And Dentist


Milo is an 11-pound dachshund and Bonedigger is a 500-pound lion. But that didn't stop these two from becoming the best of friends. The 5-year-olds go way back. Joe Schreibvogel, an animal expert at the Garold Wayne Zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma first introduced his four dachshund puppies to Bonedigger when the lion was just a 4-week-old cub.

A metabolic bone disease rendered Bonedigger mildly disabled, and Schreibvogel thinks that might have something to do with the friendly connection the animals formed.

Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore"
