This Is A Love Story About A Laboratory Chick And Disabled Rescue Dog. And It Will Make You Cry.

Penny and Roo are soul mates — unlikely soul mates, yes, but soul mates nonetheless. They were both saved days before they were supposed to be put down. You see, Silkie chick Penny was a lab chicken and was about to undergo a bunch of painful and dangerous tests when Alicia Williams, who worked in the lab, asked if she could take her home. Williams took Penny to the Duluth Animal Hospital, where she worked. Soon, Penny was feeling happy and healthy again, living at the animal hospital like it was her home.

Roo was rescued soon after, after a Good Samaritan found her in a ditch. Roo was born without two front legs, and it's suspected her deformities came from backyard breeding. Once the shelter outfitted Roo with her very own set of wheels, she finally felt like a regular dog again.

From the moment Roo met Penny at the hospital, the two formed a bond that surprised everyone. Maybe it was because they were both small, maybe it was because they both understood what the other had gone through — but whatever the case, they now spend most of their time playing, snuggling, and having fun with each other. Just look at these photos, and melt!
