Tiny Dachshund Cleans A Lion’s Teeth With Her Tongue

Bonedigger, a gorgeous male lion sits back and relaxes while a tiny dachshund named Milo gives him a thorough teeth cleaning with her tongue at the Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma in this heartwarming video posted in 2013 by big cat expert Joe Exotic.

While this might seem to be extremely risky behavior for such a small dog, little Milo isn’t afraid at all, as these two vastly different animals have been very good friends since childhood.
