My son, a dog and a chicken, yes an unusual trio, resting in the sun outdoors at the stables while my daughter has a riding lesson. The chicken has been slowly getting better after being found injured a few weeks before. They think she might have wandered off and been attacked by a fox. While she’s been recovering she often stays close to the dogs at the stables. She also lets my son Theo, who misses his former chicken friend Tea, to stroke her.
Hi Kriss, that is a lovely photo. At first I thought the chicken was a cat, but you can’t beat a real feather pillow for comfort.

I absolutely adore this photo and it could so easily be a Victorian oil painting. How strange that after being attacked the chicken trusts the dog but then he/she looks old and wise and maybe the chicken senses this. Thank you so much for adding this beautiful photo to #AnimalTales and apologies being so late commenting – I have been so busy this week with the blog revamp.
When the chicken was recovering she was in the office where the dogs sleep and rest during the day. I think she started feeling that she was safe when she was with them.
Not showing this picture to my son. He would be wildly jealous, and the chances of him getting a chicken friend are very small…
fantastic photo, love how calm the 3 of them look
Aw, beautiful. #AnimalTales
Such a beautiful photo…his face, the lighting, the animals… it’s all amazing! #animaltales
This is so sweet. What a happy moment 🙂

Aww what a lovely friendship! I can see and feel the love! #MySundayPhoto
Wow! I thought chickens were also afraid dogs? Love the photo!
What a gorgeous photo. And definitely unusual. I’m not sure I’d ever see a picture like that on our farm.
Aww I’ve never seen an embrace like that before. Such a wonderful shot x
This is such a classic pic – love the scenarios you just don’t see every day. Definitely one for the photo albums 🙂
This is an utterly beautiful photo – a wonderful shared moment between them #MySundayPhoto
Wow! I love this photo. There is something very peaceful and so much love within this photo. That is one lucky chicken! 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
That certainly is a very unusual combination! I can’t imagine a dog and a chicken would often get so close to each other, especially not with a boy too! Lovely photo.
What a fabulous photo – it certainly is an unusual trio but such a wonderful moment to capture 🙂
What a beautiful photo, all three of them look so comfortable
Thank you for linking up

A boy a dog and a chicken walk into a bar. There’s definitely a joke in there somewhere! What a truly magnificent moment to captureon your memory card. #MySundayPhoto
Oh wow this is just the lost amazing picture, I love the words with it too. Kids loving animals is a big deal for me and this is just lovely.
Such a sweet photo – love how relaxed all three of them seem to be in each other’s company.
That is such a beautiful photo, so wonderful to see you son looking so happy, and to the animals so at ease. Love it x
It did amaze me seeing the three so calm and quiet together 🙂
