Anxious Dog Uncovers Frozen Bird – Puppy Looks Up At Her Owner, And Begs For Help

When an adorable Yorkshire terrier named Lily uncovered a little bird, the owner was a little worried.
Crystal Kelley, who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, thought her playful pup might get too rambunctious with her new feathery friend.
“Lily, you leave the birdie alone,” she said. “You need to come inside.”
But Lily didn’t budge. And she also made no move to hurt the tiny bird.
That’s when Crystal realized something was seriously wrong.
For some reason, the bird had stayed in one place the entire time; it didn’t react to Lily’s presence and didn’t even move when Crystal called to her dog.
Crystal got a closer look and gasped: the poor bird was covered in ice!
It was so bad the bird couldn’t stretch its wings to fly away; it couldn’t really even move.
And Lily was begging her owner to help in some way … it just goes to show how kind and helpful dogs can be! They don’t only care about humans, you know.
Crystal wasn’t exactly sure what to do but she knew the tiny bird needed to get a lot warmer. Fast.
Then she got an idea: she ran for her blow dryer, plugged it in, opened the door, and started blowing hot air on the bird.
At first, it didn’t appear to be working, but she figured something out. As she said in a YouTube video she posted:
“I didn’t put the blow dryer on high and warm him up too quickly.“
But the bird needed it, so Crystal turned it up to High and the hot air really started flowing!
Finally, after a few minutes, the previously frozen bird started showing definite signs of life. He started hopping about a little and even turning his body toward the warm air.
Then, the best thing happened:
The bird spread its wings and took to the air! And there was obviously nothing wrong with him, either, because he flew far and fast!
Crystal was proud of her accomplishment but she also credits Lily with saving the bird. As she wrote on Facebook:
“My Yorkie helped me find this bird. As you can see, she was very sweet to it…
Lily should get an extra treat every night for at least a week, don’t you think? 😉
After all, she’s a real life-saver!
