Cute German Shepherd/ Duck Bond!

KingstonsMom · ‎03-09-2010

Sometimes the most beautiful friendships are the ones you don't expect.

Natasha, a 18 year-old French photographer, has captured the wholesome bond between her German Shepherd Vendetta, three, and her one-year-old Indian runner duck Lemony

The two animals have been pals since 2018, when Lemony, then a duckling, joined Natasha's family farm. The little duckling quickly took to following the massive dog around.

The dog and the duck play and nap together and will cuddle and go for swims. They are sometimes joined by Natasha's pigeon Pilgrim and Grisella.

The young woman, who combines her love of animals with photography hopes to show that ducks can be sensitive animals, not just food.

Model friendship. Vendetta may be a big dog, but Lemony is not afraid of her furry friend and loves to hang out

The pair are inseparable and spend their time together. As a duckling, Lemony took to following Vendetta around and never stopped

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

So, after I clicked over to see the sweet animals, I clicked over to see the various signs people made for those getting off of the planes.

They are so freaking funny (along with comments). I laughed out loud at some of them.

Thanks for the laughs.

@KingstonsMom

Thanks for posting such an adorable pic. They were made for each other.

Once in awhile, we see the most unique, incredible pics on this forum. Never would have thought about friendship btw a shepard & duck. Just goes to show anything is possible. I hope their "budding" relationship continues for many more years.
