Although the little Bengal tigress Aasha was nine months old, she weighed only 13.5 kg, like a three-month-old tiger cub. The poor animal belonged to a traveling circus, where he was mistreated, and he was also bullied by a much larger tiger. Fortunately, Vicki Kihi, the founder of the Texas rescue and research organization In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Educational Center, took the tigress under her wing. And a real miracle happened.

At first, she had to chase Aasha to get her to immerse herself in a therapeutic bath. But the tigress soon fell in love with these procedures, and her condition improved significantly.

Aasha was then introduced to an older tiger named Smaggler ("Smuggler"), who fell head over heels in love with her and showed off in front of her all the time.
