We all love pets. In fact, countless studies have suggested that the company of a furry friend

might even be beneficial to our mental health. That said, some pets out there are a little

strange, and their owners have gone way beyond what can be considered a normal relationship

with their animal friends. So today, we'll be meeting some crazy pets with even stranger owners, including a chicken

raised for meat that's now convinced he's a dog, a woman with 28,000 cats, and a handful of pet

owners who refuse to say goodbye to their dearly departed fur babies.

Strap in and stay tuned

because things are about to get

pretty weird on this pet safari.

You're listening.

You're listening.

You're amazed.

It was a dark, tragic day back in 2017 when Mary Bowman's much-beloved pet chicken, Julian, passed away. While some folks would merely see the passing of a chicken as a free dinner opportunity, Mary was heartbroken.

In time though, her heart would mend, and in October 2017, she decided to adopt a new

chicken.

After all, it's what Julian would have wanted.

It was then that she became aware of boo.

This chicken, like many, was destined to be slaughtered, but had luckily been rescued from

that fate by members of a Facebook group called Vegans with Chickens.

It was through this Facebook group page that Mary became aware of the chicken who was now up for adoption, and since Boo looked just like her late Julian, Mary believed it was fate that had brought them together.

A chicken that looks just like another chicken?

What are the chances?
