The Unlikely Friendship Of A Dog And An Owl

I wouldn’t have believed that an owl and a dog could become best friends until I saw these surprising and adorable photos by Tanja Brandt, a professional animal photographer and collage artist in Germany. Ingo the Malinois shepherd dog and Poldi, the cute owl, seem more than happy to cozy up to each other for photoshoots bathed in golden evening light.

If you like these photos, be sure to visit Brandt’s site, because Ingo has a whole lot of beautiful animal friendships, be they other Belgian shepherds or other fierce birds of prey besides Poldi. Brandt creates animal photos and collages professionally, so she seems to have a lot of cooperative models to work with!

Though these animal pictures indeed are adorable and unique, Ingo the Malinois dog and Poldi the owl aren’t the only unusual and cute animal friends out there – we have a post about all sorts of unusual animal friends!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

A lot of work involved in order to shape the dog's behaviour like that. And he's not skinny: that's how a peak form Malinois looks like

You're WRONG about this dog not being too skinny. It doesn't matter what the breed is, you're supposed to be able to FEEL THEIR RIBS, NOT SEE THEM. This Shepherd is NOT being fed enough. I would turn this owner in.

Absolutely. Gorgeous Mal. If a German Shepherd didn't have such a heavy coat, you'd see their ribs too. Dogs are not supposed to be fat, especially working dogs and non-water sport dogs. Lovely photographs and subjects.
