German photographer, Tanja Brandt, has made it her mission to take pictures of rare and unique animals and wildlife.
Recently, Brandt found two truly amazing subjects when she photographed the unique bond between two unlikely animal friends: Ingo, a Belgian shepherd, and Poldi, an owlet.
Ingo is a perfect specimen of his breed and family of dogs famous for their brute physical strength and ruthlessness.
While Poldi, the owlet, is a perfect example of the proverbial runt of the family. Not only did he hatch two days late compared to his six siblings, but he is also unusually small, which makes him very vulnerable to predators.
According to Brandt, “They respect each other and they can read each other.”
The dog and the bird have a special protector-protectee relationship. Ingo lovingly and tenderly guards Poldi. And their affection and respect for each other are very evident.
Below are photos of the unlikely best friends.
