I was walking DJ yesterday in North Tonawanda, and a VICIOUS Scottie tried to attack her (of course, I'm being a little dramatic with the adjectives...), and I went all "protective mom" on this Scottie's you-know-what.

Needless to say, I wouldn't be able to let her in a lion's cage, regardless of how "safe" it was deemed. But adorably enough, this lil' Dachshund has found the nicest lion around...

The scene was filmed at a zoo in Wynnewood, Okla. The dog is a 7-year-old Dachshund named Milo, and the lion's name is Bonedigger. They've apparently been best friends ever since Bonedigger was born five years ago.
