15 Photographs Of The Unlikely Sweet Friendship Of A Dog And An Owl

4:28 AM

Unlikely friendships occur quite often in nature but rarely is one of them as sweet and controversial at the same time, as the one between Ingo the shepherd dog and Poldi the owl!

Dogs are supposed to chase and harass birds, not befriend them. Someone forgot to tell Ingo the shepherd dog this fact because he gets along with birds just fine, in fact he might even fool you into thinking he is a bird! Okay, maybe not; but he might think he’s part-bird. After all, his best buddy is a little owl that is literally smaller than the Shepherd’s head.

Professional animal photographer and collage artist Tanja Brandt has some of the cutest models ever. The German-based artist has an awesome dog willing to make friends with all kinds of unexpected wildlife. Ingo the shepherd dog apparently gets along with everyone, regardless of specie. Many dogs want to chase flying birds, but not Ingo. This gentleman knows how to win over even the most unlikely friends, using his handsome charm and good nature, of course.

Case and point: Ingo’s best little pal is a very cute owl named Poldi. Tanja Brandt creates animal photos and collages for work, and these two make the most perfect subjects. The pair is always happy to cuddle up close for a great photo.
