JOKE: A woman goes to the doctor and asks him to help her hubby
Flint the spaniel and his tiny sparrow friend Chicky
They were originally bred as hunting dogs who would think nothing of gobbling up a tiny bird as a tasty snack.
But cocker spaniel Flint went against all his natural instincts to befriend this tiny sparrow which had tumbled out of its nest and crash-landed in the garden.
Chicky appearing in great danger and he tumbled on to the lawn in Wiltshire, England but softy Flint appeared to have taken pity on him.
Bird in paw: Flint the Cocker Spaniel befriended the orphaned sparrow, Chicky, and didn't gobble him up
The dog's owner Greg Larcombe and his four children noticed the unlikely friendship blossoming in their garden and were thrilled that they had a new pet to look after - if only for a short time.
Twins Rebecca and Annabel aged 13, Harry aged 11 and eight-year-old Sophie fed Chicky a diet of mealworms - and soon he was strong enough to fly away.
Flint's ancestors came from Spain and were bred in the UK to specifically catch Eurasian Woodcocks, which is where the term 'cocker' comes from.

Cat breaks record for longest domestic cat
A cat called Stewie has broken the Guinness world record for being the world's longest domestic cat.
The five-year-old cat was confirmed as the new record holder after measuring 48.5 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.
In all it's more than four feet long (1.16metres). The previous record was held by a 48-inch cat.
The owners of Stewie, Robin Hendrickson and Erik Brandsness of Reno, Nevada, said they decided to try for the record after hearing numerous people say they were amazed by his length. Stewie is of the Maine Coon variety - known as 'the gentle giants' of the cat world.
Moose on the Loose in Spokane
Authorities in Washington state said a moose spotted running through Spokane was chased by police, news crews and a herd of cows.
The moose was first spotted heading east on 37th Street about 10 a.m. Saturday and police caught up to it near Ferris High School nearly an hour later.
The animal was briefly cornered near the Southside Soccer Complex where hundreds of children were playing around 11:30 a.m. but it jumped into a pasture near the complex and found itself being chased by a herd of cows.
The moose escaped into a satellite communications yard, where it charged and nearly struck a news camera. The animal made its escape by barrelling through the soccer complex, a neighbourhood and the Manito Golf Course. Authorities said they lost track of the moose in the Manito Place neighborhood.

VIDEO: Escaped chimp attacks police car
A loose chimp in Kansas City, Missouri paced back and forth in a driveway and yard before sliding a wheelie bin down a street into a patrol car.
Contains NSFW language.
The 21-year-old chimp with a chain trailing behind her bounced onto the hood and scrambled up the windshield. The patrol car's dashcam captured one of her large paws smashing against the windshield, cracking it. She smashes a second time, creating more breaks in the glass.
The chimp then bounces off the patrol car and moves toward her owner, who now is in legal hot water with the city.
The chimp, whose name is Sueko but nicknamed Sue, is now at Monkey Island in Greenwood as authorities try to sort out whether to return the 160-pound chimp to her owner.
