Nyenyezy, a little hyena who lost his entire family when he was a cub, will never be alone again. The animal arrived somewhat scared at a Malawi shelter, a country located in southeast Africa. He had no one to associate with, due to age and there was no similar species either. However, she found the company of Wesley, a dog who was rescued at the same time. Since then, they have been inseparable.
For a hyena and a dog to get along so well is not very common. At first, Nyenyezy was a bit "confused". She did not understand why the dog came to her stay and she was looking for him insistently. He just wanted to play, despite the animal's misgivings, according to The Dodo.
Over time, both grew and the relationship got better: they slept in the same box, drank milk from the same container and played in different rooms. Then came the races or fights to get the same toy. Puppy stuff.
According to the professionals who care for them, this unexpected relationship has brought them great benefits, reinforcing their "confidence", according to this medium.
Nyenyezy and Wesley lived together for four months. Later they separated, because the specialists considered that it was necessary for the first to also relate to other specimens of its species, Leo and Milo. A second chance that no one imagined when he was left completely alone.
The dog was not left alone either. A local family adopted him and he lives there with other dogs.
