LUCKY, the Cheetah

by Julie

I normally take no notice of advertisements, partly because I hardly ever watch TV and also the ads are normally cr*p!

However, this ad came onto our TV stations about two months ago, and every time I hear it start I run to the TV just to watch – I just cannot get enough of it, and every time I see it I get this huge lump in my throat.

Just watch, and you’ll see why :

If you’d like to see where Lucky the Cheetah was fortunate enough to end up after her horrific experience, this is where she lives :

Naankuse Lodge & Wildlife Sanctuary

Although she will never be released into the wild, she will, thank goodness, have a good life with the wonderful woman that looks after her : Marlice van Vuuren.

MARLICE

If I could have my life over (not that I want to because I have three lovely children), then this would be what I would want to do!
