The Unlikely Friendship Of A Dog And An Owl

338

ADVERTISEMENT

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!

    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

    Denis is 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.

    I had a Malinois and was concerned about his "showy" ribcage. He ate a little bit more than "recommended" amount. My Vet said it is normal for the breed.

    I saw a separate post that said you rehab and release the owls back into the wild? Do you rehab them or are the pets?

    Denis is WRONG about this Shepherd being too thin. You're supposed to be able to FEEL their ribs, NOT see them. I would turn the owner in.

    Beautiful images; clearly "staged" in that the dog and owl were positioned and given lighting and a conducive environment, but NOT FAKE.

    Denis is 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.

    I had a Malinois and was concerned about his "showy" ribcage. He ate a little bit more than "recommended" amount. My Vet said it is normal for the breed.

    Some of these appear to be Photoshopped. The one with the owl in the basket that the dog is clutching with its mouth in particular.

    I think it's a set up! The Owl does not move in any pose, although hard to be sure. This is a stuffed Owl. Like the Monty Python sketch
