This is how a black Labrador found his friend and protector, a wounded pigeon.
Viktoriya Belostotskaya (33) from Belgorod (Russia) was filming her dog while she stood on her hindlegs looking out the open window. It was October 22, 2013.
This footage captures a pigeon landing next to Labrador’s left leg. It then sits tentatively.
The dishevelled pigeon flew through the window of a house in Belgorod, Russia, where it was greeted by Viktoriya Belostotskaya, 33, and her gentle Labrador
Yunona (a Labrador puppy of one) inspects Yunona’s new addition with her nose.
Viktoriya takes the pigeon away from Viktoriya’s new dog friend. She then examines the bird’s feet and finds its dirty, disfigured feet.
When Viktoriya puts the lame pigeon back on the window, having first cleaned up its feet, it nestles into Yunona’s shoulder, seemingly appreciative of the warmth.
Yunona continues to gaze out the window, seemingly unaffected by the encounter with the avians.
Yunona watches as Yunona relaxes and the Labrador takes in the view through the window.
Yunona is warned by Viktoriya to not touch the bird after she presents it to her. The pigeon is able to snuggle up in between her gentle Labrador and she does not seem anxious.
Yunona is holding Yunona with her two paws. The pigeon tries to get into Yunona’s space, where she holds onto the frame of the windows and keeps her on her hindlegs.
Yunona starts prodding her pet pigeon with her nose. She nearly knocks it off balance, and then she takes it back to the window.
Yunona keeps standing on her hindlegs while enjoying the view out the window together with her bird companion.

The owner is the most important factor in the animals’ behavior. Both of you are great. Anyuta.ya wrote praises for Viktoriya.
