Dogs and Cheetahs are kind of at opposite ends of the energy management spectrum. I can see a dog wondering why their buddy has to take a snack after running only a short distance. It is cool that the creatures can get along :hugs:

It’s a life of Milk-Bones and Cheetos, my friend. /s

Will the dog really care that their buddy has to get a snack after running for a short distance? It likely means they’re going to get a treat too, and that’s what’s important to the canine mind.

Besides, even though the dogs aren’t going to be as fast as the cheetah, the cheetah’s sprinting could trigger the dog’s zoomies and that’s often fun for a dog (based on my girlfriend’s dogs.)

Cheetahs and greyhounds are where the Cat and Dog kingdoms overlap.
