Dogs may be man’s best friend, but in one Louisiana family, the dog proved to be the bird’s best friend after scaring away a hawk that was attacking the family’s cockatiel.
According to Dogster.com, mixed-breed Jeanie is a tiny little shelter pup who manages just fine on three legs.
Born with a deformed front leg, vets removed her leg when she was very young, shortly after being rescued from the streets.
The gentle therapy dog, who frequently visits schools, libraries and nursing homes, lives with her family in Louisiana, along with an elderly cockatiel named Petie.
