Even though one of our favorite things to see is a rescued animal being set free and going back into the wild… there are some rescued animals that are just- not made for that. Either they’ve been hurt or they simply don’t know how to fend for themselves because they didn’t grow up in the wild. Regardless, some wild animals’ place is with us humans, and whenever that happens… we, as viewers, get to coo and be totally jealous. Don’t deny it! 

We have all seen the amazing videos of the black leopard who got rescued and is now best friends with a dog. And who could forget the iconic story of the bobcat kitten who was dropped on its head by a hawk as a baby and whose favorite toy is now fennel? And what about the sweet blind cougar who was rescued and now asks her human momma to help her walk so she doesn’t crash into things? All of them sadly cannot go back into the wild but are living happy lives with their humans now. And the same goes for this raven – who was rejected by its parents, rescued by humans, raised with dogs and now… pretty much acts like a dog too.
