While Mary Beth Westward and her two daughters were on vacation last month, her husband Todd made an unexpected new friend: a wild ruffed grouse. 
The small, feathered bird started sporadically pecking around the Westwards' New London, New Hampshire backyard in April, Westward tells PEOPLE. However, when the girls left for their May trip, the bird — whom the family affectionately named Walter — began following Todd as he did yard work outside.
