Dog Keeps Hugging His New Parrot Friend | The Dodo

Dog finds an injured parrot, who becomes obsessed with him and follows him around for cuddles.
We talked with their mom, Charlotte, about how heartbroken they both were when the parrot flew away, and the amazing thing that happened a few weeks later 💙

Yesterday the Dodo had a rescued calf and chicken cuddling. I cried. Today the Dodo has a pink parrot and a big burly dog cuddling and in love. It is an emotional roller coaster with these animal stories.

😮❤There have been stranger friends! Great share!!!

[@luckylibra6131]

The reason I love and trust animals way more than humans. They are pure don't carry hate, yet humans can't seem to just love, appreciate or give each other grace no matter how different we are.

[@DaMugix3]

We, humans, have a lot to learn from them about unconditional love and acceptance ❤️

Cracker is a Galah.

Hello

[@romystumpy1197]

That's nice ,so true

[@WobblesandBean]

Am I the only parrot owner in here? You're NEVER supposed to let a dog and a parrot interact, ever!

[@Ilivedbih]

​​​@@WobblesandBean Well tbf it depends, some dogs can be friends with even cats, but you have to be sure those dogs are not "hunters" aka don't hurt smaller animals. We had a cat that loved gooses and chickens, never hurt them, she treated them as her kittens in fact since she was small, however I do agree it is risky if they have not known each other since the start and you should still always be in vicinity to take them apart if needed. Edit: but wolves and ravens for example do have an extraordinary "fur and flock" interspecies friendship

[@Hide--]

​@@WobblesandBeani am a parrot owner and yes you're being cautious and following the rules and not take risk, but you're also wrong and right, its alright for parrot to interact with other species if they get along and dont cause harm, the bigger the bird, the safer the bird You're a beginning parrot owner as i can tell

[@loveisall5520]

Cross-species friendships always surprise us. Cool book!

[@davidryan6112]

Hello

[@user-zc2dd4ut5f]

This is truly a miraculous bond between these two. If only we humans could take lessons from them. It's beautiful, and it never gets old for me. Thanks for sharing this.

POV : You died from cuteness😭❤️

[@mml01]

OK, this is beyond adorable. Plus a book about them!!! 😂💙🩵🤍

[@pattihiggins4993]

Amazing, heartwarming, cute, loving friends, overwhelmingly adorable. I'm 76 now, but when I was 16 we had a cat that was friends with our parakeet. The parakeet would come out of his cage and fly to the cat and land on him and walk all over him. The cat never hurt the bird and seemed to grieve for a week after the parakeet died.

[@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206]

Yep. Animals understand d*@th, they just need to be allowed to smell the c○rps€ so they know. Otherwise they're left wondering why someone left and never came back. Which is so sad! That's why I took my moms dog to the hospital, AD, to let her smell. She wanted me to be her new mommy but my dog was too jealous of her so my brother has her. 😢😭

[@amberstamp1965]

This is such a beautiful story and a great idea for Children's books❤ If animals can love each other despite the differences, why can't humans. The world would be a better place

[@woman2251]

Beautiful

Bird 🐦 & dog 🐕, like Snoopy & Woodstock 😂😮

These two are just too precious.

[@alinahart1239]

What a gorgeous duo! And what a beautiful soul their adoptive mom is to seek out Milo and allow them to reunite. Faith restored in humanity (at least for a little while 😂).

[@TJRatfink]

I love a happy ending. may they both have long and happy lives together!

[@melissamartin8266]

What a beautiful relationship. Why can't we get along with each other like that?

This should be turned into a movie. What a beautiful story. True friendship, indeed! Thanks for sharing😊

[@jamescantwell9988]

The world can learn from these two.

[@WobblesandBean]

Sigh. No, it can't. This is so dangerous and irresponsible. Sooner or later you're going to see an update from this terrible bird owner that the dog "accidentally" Game Over'd the cockatoo. No parrot owner will tell you it's ok to let a dog and a bird interact. Ever.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

OH my goodness!!! This is absolutely the sweetest thing I've ever seen!! 🥰✨💕😊

[@whathappenedtofreethinking6902]

Makes my heart smile. Thank you.

[@patriciakeagan9410]

This is a beautiful friendship. It was meant to be.

Hello

[@chelsiecrook]

Milo is my absolute favorite. Just the sweetest boy.

[@SuperPrettyPink101]

Milo is a hero! 🥰 He found an injured bird and brought it home to heal, how incredible! I assumed they just adopted a bird and they became friends, but no, that's a wild bird choosing to stay with the pupper who saved his life. Beautiful 😭❤️

[@apeape06]

I have heard of a dog accidentally killing another animal in the home because of the size difference and was super sad when he realized what he had done so just be careful 😢

[@magallanesagustin4952]

Yeah. Dogs get exited very easily and they can't meassure their own strengh.

[@mariacheung647]

Oooh i wish I have a friend like them❤❤❤❤❤ so cute

Cracker & Milo book should become a bestseller. Such a beautiful & loving story ❤️

[@susank2019]

I wish the Dodo would have left a warning never to leave a dog or cat with a bird unattended even if they appear to be great friends -- not saying this woman does that, but it's important not to give other bird owners the idea because instinct can kick in, and it does (and not so infrequently). Dodo please consider adding cautionary advice to some of your bird videos. I believe you may already do this with dogs and cats, but I often see bird videos where it is also warranted (eg, when people are cooking in the kitchen with their birds or going for walks with their birds without a harness).

[@spdadventurer1754]

I agree with u fully, it's so important to keep birds/any animals around u safe and that takes all these precautions. One small mistake and it could cost a lot god forbid. In this vdo it's clear that the pet pawrent was always around supervising their interaction and the dog was very friendly to begin with. Not all dogs are friendly with birds, they can be friendly with humans or other animals but their instinct can kick in with birds and small creature. I have dogs , I feel like their instinct would kick in if they saw birds even though hey won't know that they could consume it lol.

[@ShaneH5150]

Bravo! Nice job on the book as well :)

[@TheHogfatherInvades]

That parrot is crazy beautiful with those colors

[@danettemain3705]

Humans could learn from these best friends. Doesn't matter our race, religion, skin color, no differences should cloud our chance for love, friendship and acceptance

[@bellejour559]

Adorable!💕

[@louispitman7857]

Milo what precious and gentle giant so tender towards Cracker

[@barbarakehoe2157]

Forty years ago my son came into our lives thru adoption. There were some rough times but the good times far outweighed the hard 100fold…. Forty years later he is still amazing . Love her, cherish her and lovingly guide her through the rough times.

[@katherineernst8764]

We have a labradoodle. He is a hunter. He killed rabbits,muskrat,a very large skunk,. For the first 2 years he left all kinds of animals near the back of the house. Never knew what will show up.he stopped now . Seems he has slowed down at age of 4 in June. Never ate them. Just showed off to us. He was proud of himself. This is our 4th dog and the first one to hunt. All our dogs lived long lives. Began with our first dog in 1973.

[@beepiezz]

The cutest and kindest interspecies couple in the world.

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

This is such an amazingly sweet story. My former dog Bindi, a border terrier, would’ve immediately pounced on an injured bird, which she did once, and even tried to take it away to eat it

[@irishdevil1490]

That was cool and beautiful and loving and just shows that love and friendship is such a powerful thing and when it's used in the right way it could change the world.

This is a lovely story and I’m glad you wrote a children’s book about it. Thank you for helping the bird. And for letting your dog be your dog. Pits are so gentle with other species. My dog has cats. Literally. It’s like Milo and Otis between Bella and Scout, a ginger tabby. She loves Bella as much as Bella loves her.

[@lisastenzel5713]

This is adorable. The book is what takes it away for me. Animal friendships cross species all the time. It's the only good thing that ever came from keeping pets. And making a book about it to take a chapter of their story and live according to it... that's the best idea she could have. And it's beautiful too! Good job.

[@zeljkotomic4517]

No. Thats how dogs show to other dogs who is the boss, who is top dog.

[@AnniMenschi-zq9yj]

Animals are so special and don't care how you look like and if you're the same species. This is real love. I wish people could do as well. This is so cute and I love this story.
