Some friendships might seem unlikely, but in reality, move mountains and melt hearts. A few years ago we wrote about a beautiful, yet uncommon, the friendship between a shepherd dog Ingo and an owl Poldi and today we present even more feathered friends of the pup.

Ingo and friends are the members of Tanja Brandt's family who is an incredible animal photographer. These furry and feathered beauties are perfect models to portray beautiful, sweet and unexpected moments between two extremely different species.

“I’ve always loved animals, since I was a baby, unlike the rest of my family"- said Tanja to Bored Panda in 2015. "When I was little, I found every sort of pet and then hid it from my parents. I love the beauty, power, loyalty, courage, and friendship of animals. Many people could learn from them.”

Below you can find some of the most amazing pictures of unlikely friends ever. Which one is your favorite?

Ingo is a one of a kind dog. He must be super calm to have all thee owl sit on him and be with him. Wonderful Photography. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful and touching pictures of the love they have for each other. Just one question? Are the owls free to fly or have their wings been clipped?

Most of them are my favorites, can't pick just one,. But do like the ones with the burrowing owl and shepherd the most! Love them...

Too bad all the owls have leather bindings on their legs - I think they’d far rather be free than the subject of “adorable” money making photos
