Miles of Smiles

Time for a feel good Sunday piece and I believe I have just the one to offer. A 69 year old man in Texas has an unusual walking companion...one of the nine hens he keeps. After retirement he would often go for walks and noticed many people brought their dogs along in strollers so he thought what the heck,I'll bring my chickens with me. The man not only enjoys the exercise he also enjoys the smiles the sight of him walking his chickens bring to the people he meets another plus is unlike a canine companion he gets eggs for the bonus!
