Owls that hatched at a hawk conservatory were adopted by the park keeper and became friends with his pet dog. |
After a family took in this stray cat, she grew fond of their elderly dog. Realizing the dog was blind, the cat took on the responsibility of leading the dog to his water, food, shade, and toys. She would follow closely under his chin to guide him. |
