Going All The Way Back
The primary reason that Bonedigger and Mr. Reinke are this close is that the latter has been feeding the former by hand since he was a cub. When the lion was a baby, it was Mr. Reinke who took care of him and ensured he was fed enough good. This was the beginning of their unique bond, which we have already seen in photos earlier in the article. However, they took things even further when Mr. Reinke trained Bonedigger to follow some commands. The lion listens and does as instructed, not unlike dogs who can do tricks. When the bond is as strong as this one between a lion and the person who raised him since he was a cub, there are more things that you could do than you could with a wild lion. When you look at the friendship between Milo and Bonedigger, it is clear that the lion gets lots of moral support.

A Fellow Cat
Now, it is no secret by now that Bonedigger has no problems with humans and dogs, but how does he feel about cats? There are other large cats at the animal park. In particular, there is a tiger there by the name of Tony who was raised in captivity as well. Unlike Bonedigger, this feline is perfectly healthy and does not suffer from any health-related problems. The two of them grew up together and while they do like to spend time together, they just do not have the same friendship that Bonedigger has with Milo. Tony himself gets a lot of visitors at the animal park as many like to watch him wander around and play. Who can blame them for being fascinated by this magnificent animal? We all know that tigers are fascinating creatures in their own right!
