Who says dogs and cats can’t get along?

Buda the Labrador retriever has fun in the snow with his best friends - THREE TIGERS

By Daily Mail Reporter


A polar vortex is not a laughing matter, however the pictures of these two unlikely life-long friends playing in the wintery weather can make anyone smile.
Buda, a two-year-old Labrador-Retriever ,did not miss the opportunity to roll around in the snow with his best buddies - a group of tigers.

The friendship between Buda and his big cat partners Paramesh and Krishna, both aged two, and Parham, aged one, fascinates visitors at a sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as they play together in the tiger enclosure.

The rare white tigers and majestic Bengal have known Buda all their lives and they're used to playing together in the sprawling grounds of the wildlife preserve - but snow is something they have never seen before. 'It only snows here about once a decade so they went wild playing around in it,' said Doc Antle, 53, owner of the conservation facility. 'They all got so excited, the tigers turned into big kitty cats.'
