Meet the unlikely best friends - a dog who is pals with OWLS and loves to cuddle and go on walks with them.

Blue, an 11-year old German Shepherd-Husky, has always got along with the birds he lives with.

Owner Amy Jo Lawrance, 40, didn't expect her pup to strike up such a bond with three of her six pet owls – Juneau, Xena and Frankie.

But Blue loves his feathered friends and they often go on walks together and playfully chase each other.

When the owls were babies, they used to cuddle and take naps with Blue - but now the "teenage" birds now a bit "bossy" with him.
