The blind hen called Perri became best friends with pit bull

a blind chicken adopted by a family in Phoenix

The blind hen found his protector and his support system

Peri the hen lived her first six months in peace in the home environment with his new family. However, she had a serious eye infection. Unfortunately veterinary surgeons and specialists warned the family that the infection is incurable and that blindness was for Peri the hen was sadly inevitable. But the Hubbards still did not give up trying to make Peri’s life dignified. Among the members of family only Taj the pit bull became the greatest protector of the hen who became blind. He believed that everything will be okay with the blind hen. The dog and the hen have gradually become friends for the life. In the eight years since Peri’s blindness Taj has never abandoned his curious hen friend.

During their friendship, Peri and Taj have always spent time together when they could. They did everything together until in 2018 Taj lost a long battle against cancer. Regarding the disappearance of the pit bull protector, the Peri hen had felt lost.

Until the Hubbard family adopted two new pit bull puppies and the blind hen is once more glowing with joy! Peri immediately made friends with the pit bull Gracie.

Over time, Peri and Gracie have become very good friends, and the pit bull does not abandon the little hen even for a moment: since she cannot see and often cannot get food, water or games alone, it is Gracie who becomes aware of her needs and brings her what she needs to eat, drink or even play.

Taj meant a lot to Peri, but now Gracie is just as important to her new friend. The two “sisters” are always together and Gracie seems to have made it her mission to keep Peri safe, happy and never without a toy for the rest of her life.

This improbable friendship, which has arisen from genuine feelings such as empathy, the need for care and affection and which becomes a lesson in humanity on the part of these animals is something that the human being can only cherish and learn from…
