Some big dogs have even bigger hearts, and that certainly seems to be the case with a beautiful canine named Chicken. “It was never the goal to have her being the emotional support dog,” Alyssa Krieger told The Dodo in a September 2025\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0video that’s been viewed more than 1.6 million times. Krieger is an employee of the nonprofit Angell Animal Medical Center, and she brought Chicken home in May 2022. Since then, the Irish wolfhound has helped Krieger foster many tiny, helpless creatures. “Because I work at the shelter, there are often animals that just need a place to go,” she added to The Dodo.<\/p>\n Chicken particularly adores kittens and bunnies. The video shows her watching a tiny 3-week-old kitten named Gumball, allowing several kittens to climb all over her, and sniffing little bunnies. She isn’t as smitten with puppies, though. “It’s interesting because tiny baby puppies, she’s like, ‘This is too small. I’m not really that interested.’ But tiny kittens, she just wants to watch them,” Krieger explained. The loving Irish wolfhound has also formed a strong bond with Krieger’s son, Max, and some of the sweetest videos on Chicken’s Instagram<\/a>\u00a0feature the two playing together.<\/p>\n
