Louise the chicken has not had an easy start to life; born with severely malformed legs, he struggled to fight for food in the pen.
In fact, it is only thanks to the eagle-eyed children on the farm where he lived that he is still alive.
However, despite a number of surgeries, Louise's legs could not be fixed, and he was sent to a new home in Langley, Virginia where he would be left to enjoy life: Sali's Farm.
But this isn't just any farm; it is a charitable organisation that supports and protects children who have been victims of abuse, neglect or violence.
And Louise was put to work when she arrived, helping these vulnerable children in her role as therapy chicken.
"Now, when the kids come, they hear about his story and they see him with his very visible disability and it just resonates with the kids, because some of their stories aren't that great," Sali's Founder, Keryn Denroche told CBC.
"When they come here, they get unconditional love from Louise and that can have a really big impact on them."
To help Louise - who was originally wrongly thought to be a hen - in his tasks, the charity decided that the rooster needed a wheelchair to get around.
"I went online and I spent a lot of hours looking for help for Louise and I found a company that makes avian wheelchairs down in the states," Keryn continued.
Made from a soft material which supports his chest, there are two special holes for Louise's legs to go through which allows him to be mobile.
What a legend - well done, Louise!
