This is Emmett, he's a 10-week-old cheetah cub who was born at Columbus Zoo in Ohio in the USA.

Cheetahs can be very nervous animals, so the staff at Columbus Zoo decided Emmett needed a companion.

Instead of finding another cheetah cub the staff decided to introduce Emmett to 7-week-old puppy Cullen.

Cats and dogs don't normally get along but these didn't let that get in the way and amazingly they've now become best friends. Now that's just purr-fect!

Playing together all day, Cullen has helped Emmett become more confident and calm.
