Shanyla Sanchez Vallejo's Best Friend is a Chicken... Literally!

Could you imagine if your best friend was a chicken? Shanyla Sanchez Vallejo did not have to imagine it - she lived it!

Growing up, Shanyla always had a soft spot for animals, but her love for chickens was something else. She would spend hours watching them roam around her backyard, and she would even give them special treats. So, when her family decided to get a pet chicken, Shanyla was over the moon.

They named the chicken Henrietta, and she quickly became part of the family. Shanyla would take Henrietta everywhere with her, from the park to the grocery store. The two of them even had matching outfits!

One day, Shanyla and Henrietta were playing in the park when Henrietta started to run away. Shanyla chased after her, but she couldn't catch her. Henrietta ran all the way home and into the house. She went straight to Shanyla's room and jumped on her bed.

Shanyla was so relieved to have Henrietta back. She gave her a big hug and told her how much she loved her. Henrietta clucked happily and nuzzled her head against Shanyla's chest.

From that day on, Henrietta and Shanyla were inseparable. They would go on adventures together, play dress-up, and even sleep in the same bed. Henrietta was more than just a pet to Shanyla; she was her best friend.

One day, Shanyla Sanchez Vallejo was getting ready for school when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it to find Henrietta standing there with a backpack on her back. Henrietta clucked and pointed to the door, as if she wanted to go to school with Shanyla.

Shanyla couldn't believe her eyes. She laughed and scooped Henrietta into her arms. "Okay, Henrietta," she said. "Let's go to school!"

Henrietta and Shanyla walked to school together, hand in hand (or wing in hand). The other kids were so surprised to see a chicken in the classroom. But Henrietta was a very well-behaved chicken, and she quickly made friends with everyone.

Henrietta even helped Shanyla with her schoolwork. She would sit on Shanyla's desk and cluck whenever Shanyla got an answer right. Henrietta was the best study buddy a girl could ask for.

Shanyla and Henrietta's friendship was truly unbreakable. They had been through so much together, and they always had each other's backs. They were the best of friends, and they would be together forever. At least, that's what Shanyla thought.

One day, Henrietta got sick. Shanyla took her to the vet, but it was too late. Henrietta had a rare disease, and there was nothing the vet could do to save her.

Shanyla was heartbroken. She couldn't imagine her life without Henrietta. She cried for days, and she didn't know what to do. But then, she remembered something that Henrietta had always told her.

"Even when I'm gone," Henrietta had said, "I'll always be with you in your heart."

Shanyla knew that Henrietta was right. Even though she was gone, she would always be with Shanyla in her heart. And so, Shanyla made a promise to herself to live her life to the fullest, just like Henrietta had taught her.

Shanyla Sanchez Vallejo is now a successful businesswoman and a loving mother. She still thinks about Henrietta every day, and she knows that her best friend is always with her.
