An orphaned baby eagle owl has been adopted by a springer spaniel.
Bramble found a new mum in Sophie the spaniel when she went to live at a bird of prey rescue centre, reports The Sun.
The unlikely pair have become inseparable and Sophie even gives Bramble a daily wash by licking her.
Bramble likes the attention so much she now insists on flying to Sophie to be spruced up.
Sharon Bindon, 43, who runs the centre at Liskeard, Cornwall, said: "When Bramble arrived she had no feathers and had to be kept in the house. On her first day Sophie cleaned her as they sat on the settee.
"Every day since Bramble has had to be let out of her cage to be washed. She has the cleanest beak and feathers in the country."
