THE LOVING FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A DISABLED LION AND A TINY DACHSHUND DOG

A friendship that’s a real Wiener: The disabled 500-pound lion and his unlikely Dachshund pal who have been inseparable ever since the cat was a cub.

  • Bonedigger the lion, never leaves the side of Dachshund dog Milo
  • The pair have been inseparable since Bonedigger was just a cub
  • They cuddle, eat raw meat and even play together at an animal park
  • The lion was hand-reared by double amputee zookeeper John Reike
  • Found he had a skill for rearing animals after losing his legs after an accident
  • Struck up a bond with big cats after looking after seven foot lion Bonedigger
  • His wife Kirsti and his two sons also help to look after the animals 

  • The two have been inseparable over the past five years at G.W. Exotic Animal Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma'Milo does his best to copy Bonedigger when the lion tries puffing to communicate with other lions in the park', says Mr Reinke
