The story we have for you today is one of love, friendship, and how to co-exist.

Salati is a leopard that was adopted by the Brooker family in South Africa. The family helps to rehabilitate animals that are injured. Salati came to the Brooker family when it was just a cub, and instantly became friends with Tommy, a golden retriever. Tommy was also a puppy at the time.

You would think that a friendship between this unlikely pair would be impossible. But no. The two animals connected from the first moment. Now the two animals are fully grown and they are still friends. They spend time together running, playing, sleeping, whatever!

They have left behind the stereotype of cat and dog and found friendship instead.

Wyclef Jean – Running For President Of Haiti!

Wyclef Jean has announced his intentions to run for the Haitian presidency.

The 37-year-old musician and social activist confirmed the news to Time, saying, “If not for the earthquake, I probably would have waited another 10 years before doing this….If I can’t take five years out to serve my country as President, then everything I’ve been singing about, like equal rights, doesn’t mean anything.”

“I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity,” Wyclef concluded, “one that thinks not just about charity but policy.”

Wyclef was born in Haiti and left with his family at the age of 9 to go to New York City.

Demi Lovato is finally opening up a bit on reconnecting with Joe Jonas.

The 17-year-old singer shared about her relationship with her now ex-boyfriend. She shared, “We thought about it when we first started dating, you know, to think about the consequences or what would happen if we weren’t dating when it came to tour. It’s definitely something we thought about before and we’re just dealing with now. It’s not bad, you know. We had a really great friendship before and now we just have to keep it going.”

And what about Demi’s upcoming album? “The new album so far it’s a little more pop, it’s more R&B. It’s a little more soulful. It has a different sound to it so I’m really excited to see how it turns out. I feel like I’m going to be doing that too so I might be incorporating rock and R&B,” she revealed.

ARE YOU EXCITED for Demi’s new music?

Selena Gomez is heading back to the Big Apple!

If you live in New York, you can meet the 17-year-old actress and her cutie costar Joey King at Madison Square Park with Tide!

At the event, you’ll be able to hang with Selena and Joey, find out more about their new movie and help paint a mural inspired by the film.

Selena recently caught up with Kidzworld.com about working Disney Channel/Disney XD-mate Hutch Dano. She shared, “He actually auditioned for my show [Wizards of Waverly Place] a couple of times. He’s friends with Jennifer [Stone] so he would come on my set and hang out. So, when he got the part, he texted me and was like ‘hey, I got the part’ and I was like ‘Oh my gosh. I’m so stoked’. So, I really had a great time with him. It was nice to have someone I knew and was comfortable with.”
