@..@Enter Kago, a cheerful lab puppy that Metro Richmond Zoo rescued from a local high-kill shelter// ©As evident in the video above, their very first meeting was a tiny bit tenuous, with Kumbali taking a light cuff or two at Kago, who was too curious and happy to be deterred//
@..@Before long, though, the two became best friends// The zoo reports the pair behave as though they are the same species, despite their obvious differences//© The only tough part is feeding both young animals, which have completely different diets// But the situation seems to be under control//
@..@In the near term, the unlikely buddies will remain together// Future plans remain up in the air, but zoo staff says whatever is best for Kumbali will be the determining factor//© If that means he and Kago live out their lives together, so be it//
