THE OWL AND THE PUPPY DOG

You may have heard about the owl and the pussy cat ...

For years, photographer Tanja Brandt has made it her mission to capture magnificent photos of animals and wildlife. Recently, the German artist found a new challenge when she photographed the unique bond between two unlikely friends: Ingo, a Belgian shepherd, and Poldi (Napoleon), a one-year-old owlet.

The owlet and canine have a special protector-protected relationship. Their affection toward each other couldn't be any more evident. Ingo lovingly guards Poldi, who apparently doesn't know how to live free.

The owlet hatched two days after his six brothers and sisters, therefore, has always been very vulnerable due to his small size.

They respect each other and they can read each other, says the photographer.
