Ever walk a chicken or have one lay on the foot of your bed tending to you while you were sick?
No, but there are dogs that help the blind and police. Pigs that find truffles. Horses that pull loads.

I wasn't really going for the "animals that work" angle as much as I was going for the "companion animal" angle.
We eat chickens because we as humans don't socialize with them like we do with dogs.
It's the same as with cows. If people kept them in their houses as we do other domesticated animals we would probably never eat them.
