Meet Ruuxa and Raina, an unlikely pair whose remarkable friendship proves that the very best friends are there for you through just about anything. Written by Georgeanne Irvine, Ruuxa & Raina: A Cheetah and Dog’s True Story of Friendship and Miracles shares the real-life story of Ruuxa, a cheetah cub, and Raina, the Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy who became his devoted companion.

Ruuxa may have been small, but he was full of spirit. When wildlife care specialists discovered problems with his developing legs, he faced a challenging road ahead. Through treatment, recovery, and plenty of growing up, Raina remained right by his side—playing, cuddling, exploring, and even serving as the occasional pillow! Filled with real-life photography and fascinating wildlife facts, their story gives young readers a behind-the-scenes look at animal care while sharing a touching lesson about friendship, resilience, and sticking together.

Part of the Hope & Inspiration book series, this heartwarming true story is one animal-loving kids won’t soon forget.
