Friendship proves a real hoot

A bizarre relationship between two very unlikely partners has left a few feathers ruffled in one Shropshire household. Boobah has struck up a friendship with Hazel The Ward family, from Shrewsbury, were baffled when two-year-old German shepherd Hazel and newborn burrowing owl Boobah struck up a firm friendship. Hazel recently gave birth to two puppies and has now adopted the baby bird as one of her own. Owners Stuart and Caroline Ward said the pair have become inseparable and the owl enjoys nothing better than to take a ride around the house on Hazel’s head. Mr Ward said: “The owl now spends most of its time flat out on top of the dog or walking around on Hazel’s head.” A spokeswoman for the RSPCA in Shropshire said friendships between dogs and birds were almost unheard of, as they would not normally meet.
