This is soooo sweet and it reminds me of in the Bible where it says the lion will lay down with the lamb, etc.
 
Enjoy!

  
 
 
One Hungry Little Mouse!

The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire. The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded by the mouse's behaviour.
 
He said: "I have no idea where the mouse came from. He just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. He didn't take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself."

But the leopard was pretty surprised. She bent down and sniffed the mouse and flinched a bit like she was scared. In the meantime the mouse just carried on eating like nothing had happened

Even a gentle shove does not deter the little creature from getting his fill. It was  amazing, even the keeper who had thrown the meat into the enclosure was shocked. He said he'd never seen anything like it before.  

Project owner Jackie James added:  "It was so funny to see, Sheena batted the mouse a couple of times to try to get it  away from her food."  But the determined  little thing took no notice and just carried  on.

Sheena  was  brought in to the Santago Rare Leopard Project from a UK zoo when she was just four  months old.  She is one of 14 big cats in the private collection started by Jackie's late husband Peter in 1989.  The African Leopard can be found  in the continent's forests, grasslands, savannas, and rainforests.

And so the mouse  continued to eat the leopard's lunch  and show the  leopard who was the boss.  Just proves no one can push you around without your permission. 

 
So be nice to others  because...  

Time WILL make a  difference!

One day you will  no longer be the big dog... Just the old dog...
And my friend, WE are now the old  dogs.
 

HOWEVER, OLD DOG IS  BETTER THAN DOG-GONE.
