In February, we brought you all sorts of inter-species loving. Tigers and piglets, a lion/tiger/bear trio, and a whole bunch of humans with baby pandas… let me continue the trend and share with you this hen, Mabel, and her puppy snuggle buddies.
Apparently Mabel was brought inside (and spared a crueler fate) when she was too injured to keep herself warm last winter following a traumatic horse-trodding incident. After the family dog gave birth to a litter of puppies, the hen patiently waited for her chance; as soon as momma dog went outside, Mabel sneak-attacked her way into the puppy basket. The people involved in this story say that now, the hen acts as a babysitter and roosts on the puppies to keep them warm.
Heart warming! Let’s all get along!
