Yet another outbreak of cross-species canoodling! (see here and here)

The Pakistan Daily Times reports:

A hen in China has reportedly shacked up with a dog to help raise its three newborn puppies.

Owner Yang said the hen moved into the dog’s kennel after it gave birth last month. Since then, the hen refuses to leave the kennel, staying inside all day and only walking out when the dog is nursing its puppies.

Yang says the hen is very protective of the puppies and refuses to allow strangers to come close to the kennel. The dog seems to have given up the idea of driving the stubborn intruder out and has decided to share the space with the hen.

That hen is doggone crazy! But the dog might be feeling a tad hen-picked...
