Vicious Rottweiler vs. Tiny Bird

A bird flew into one of our windows this morning. It took me a couple minutes to go out and check on it. When I got out, Chewie had the bird on his bed and was obviously protecting it - keeping it in a space between himself and the wall on his bed. It had obviously received a lot of licking. I got a tool to pick it up and it turned out to be alive! I took it over to the table to keep Chewie from smothering it with care, and he still kept an eye on it (bird is hard to see - look at the seat cushion on the far side):

Half an hour later, the bird is still drying out on the table, but standing up. Hopefully it's wings don't stick together from the slobber.

Update: Bird disappeared, which generally means it recovered and flew away! Good nursing, Chewie!
