London, January 3 : An owl and a Bassett Hound have hit it off to become best friends -and they love to watch TV together.

Beryl, the 16-year-old the Basset Hound could not keep his paws off the four-year-old owl Wol.

To the amazement of their owner Sara Ross, Tenterden, Kent, the pair often cuddled up together on an armchair to watch television, reports the Telegraph.

Sara said: "They are both rescue animals and they''re like best buddies. Wol needs full-time care and one day I was giving him a bit of exercise and he just plonked down on Beryl''s back. She doesn''t mind, she''s really laid back and a bit of a pussycat really.

"She didn''t mind at all and now you can''t keep them apart.

"Four times-a-week you''ll see them settle down to watch what''s going on in Albert Square. Beryl barks when it''s over and Wol gets a bit upset too, with a bit of flapping.

She added: "They are inseparable. They love cuddling up and watching television together.

"It won''t come as a surprise that they love nature documentaries, but they also like soaps like Coronation Street and Emmerdale."

She added: "I''ve never known two animals who are so different hit it off quite so well. They just love being around each other." (ANI)
