Six-month-old Greyhound puppy dog Torque with baby owl Shrek
A greyhound and an owl have formed a bizarre friendship at an animal centre, Ringwood Raptor and Reptile Centre, New Forest, Hampshire, Britain - Aug 2008
In the classic childhood rhyme it is the owl and the pussycat who are best friends, but in real life it's the owl and the greyhound that are the best of buddies. Six-month-old dog Torque has become adoptive father to a tiny baby owl called Shrek after the youngster was taken away from her mother for her own protection. Shrek was born at the Ringwood Raptor and Reptile Centre in Hampshire's New Forest but was taken away after she hatched because it was feared that her inexperienced mother may eat her. Now the greyhound and his feathered friend spend their evenings together watching Eastenders and Coronation Street, with Shrek safely snuggled up to Torque. And when they venture outside an ever watchful Torque closely guards the youngster. Tame Shrek will eventually be used at owl displays and open days and John believes her interaction with dogs and humans from an early age is ideal training.

THE OWL AND THE ÷ GREYHOUND
In the classic childhood rhyme it is the owl and the pussycat who are best friends, but in real life it's the owl and the greyhound that are the best of buddies.
Six-month-old dog Torque has become adoptive father to a tiny baby owl called Shrek after the youngster was taken away from her mother for her own protection.
And it would seem that, despite only being a puppy himself, Torque is taking his new responsibilities very seriously - rarely venturing from the side of his fluffy charge.
Shrek was born at the Ringwood Raptor and Reptile Centre in Hampshire's New Forest but was taken away after she hatched because it was feared that her inexperienced mother may eat her.
The friendship between the unlikely duo then started slowly; to begin with head falconer John Picton would feed the tiny owl her meals of marsh rats and quail while Torque was in the same room.
He then progressed to holding them close together so Torque could get used to Shrek's scent and accept her into his 'pack'.
Now the greyhound and his feathered friend spend their evenings together watching Eastenders and Coronation Street, with Shrek safely snuggled up to Torque.
And when they venture outside an ever watchful Torque closely guards the youngster.
John comments: "Their relationship is so unusual but also rather sweet.
"Torque seems to have adopted Shrek as his daughter and is now very protective. He follows her around at home and keeps his eye on her. They play with each other in the evenings while I'm watching television and it is an opportunity for Shrek to wander and strengthen her...
