Penny the chicken was bred to be part of an experiment but was rescued by an employee at the Duluth Animal Hospital in Georgia, USA.
Roo the Chihuahua was taken in after he was abandoned in a park in February 2013. He was left in freezing temperatures, but was luckily found and taken in by Duluth Animal Hospital.
The two have now become the best of friends and enjoy hanging out together behind the counter at the animal hospital’s reception.
Alicia Williams- who took in both the chicken and the Chihuahua- says that the unlikely pals have a truly close bond.

Alicia told the Gwinnett Daily Post: ‘Penny gets excited when Roo is around because she knows he’s got treats and food all of the time.’
‘Whenever she hears him being fed, she steals his food. He loves snuggling with her because that’s his big teddy bear.’
Roo only has two legs, so uses a couple of wheels to help him get around- but these sometimes cause some problems when he’s playing with Penny.
‘He runs over her sometimes because he doesn’t realise how big his wheels are.’
So cute!
