Molly the magpie was found at a dog park by Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen, who noticed she was injured.

What the pair didn't expect was for their loved staffy Peggy to also help heal Molly.
The dynamic duo have become inseparable, with Peggy even teaching Molly how to bark.

MS Wells said Molly was incredibly intelligent and loving.
"For her to have a relationship with Peggy, that's showing people a different side of magpies and it's also showing people a different side of Staffys as well," she said
Their affection continued to grow after Peggy had five puppies, with Molly now helping to care for them.
