Unlikely Friendship Attracts Attention

A mynah bird and a dog who cannot bear to be parted have become local celebrities in China. The pair are such great friends their owner has built a special perch for the bird which fits on the dog.

Owner Qaiao Yu, of Jinan in northern China's Shandong province, can now take them for a walk together. He says the unusual pair always attract attention from passers-by and have become famous locally.

"My two pets developed their super friendship after I kept them both in the same room for a long time," he said. "Now they want to be together all of the time so I made the frame so the bird could join the dog on our walks.

"If someone tries to approach the mynah, the dog will bark crazily. And when the dog is having a nap, the mynah will catch fleas on the dog and comb its hair."
