A kindhearted dog rescues two chickens buried and trapped under snow last winter in Nova Scotia.

The owners of Chase the dog - who have had him since he was a 10-week-old puppy - had trained him to help the chickens in case they got stuck in the snow.

This happened in February 2017 during a cold snap, when Chase dug out two buried chickens from the snow and nudged them back towards their coup.

Writes the filmer and Chase's co-owner: "He kept an eye on the chickens and would help protect them from wild animals. He watched over them since they were tiny chicks - he is a kindhearted dog.

The owner says Chase is a Labrador Retriever - a mix of Golden Labrador and Golden Retriever, sometimes called a Goldador.

Smart dog digs two buried chickens out from a snow bank with care and nudges them so they go back to the coup. No animals were harmed in this video.

The video was taken in Blanche, Nova Scotia approx. Feb. 2017 there was a fair amount of snow and the temps approx - 2C at the time.

Chase was being trained to help the chickens out of the snow in the video, he kept an eye on the chickens and would help protect them from wild animals he watched over them since they were tiny chicks - he is a kindhearted dog.

We got him from a person who did not want him anymore when he was 10 weeks old but I am fairly confident he is" Labrador Retriever" which is a mix of golden lab and golden retriever or often called "Goldador."
