An orphaned baby bird is being nursed back to health by her unlikely surrogate 'father' - a boxer dog. Two-year-old boxer Rusty has taken the tiny chick under his wing, ever since she was brought into his home, and now the lovable dog lets the little bird ride around on his back. The chick, named 'Birdy', was abandoned when the little thrush fell out of her nest, at Minster on the Isle of Sheppey. Jurgita Peciulaityte (doub corr) found the little chick and brought her back home, but never imagined she would become adopted by her dog.
