Arnie waits in the tub for his owner Brigette Brouillard to turn on the tap and even tries to get in the shower with her.

The nine-banded armadillo was rescued by Second Chances Wildlife Center in June 2017 after being found abandoned and emaciated in western Kentucky, US.

He can never be released because he suffers from a blood-clotting disorder which means he needs requires constant care.

Instead, he lives with animal lover Brigette and spends his days eating insects, making a nuisance of himself and nipping at his owner's ankles.
