With a sense of fairytale wonder, wildlife photographer Tanja Brandt captures the unique friendship between her dog Ingo and a fluffy little owl named Poldi.

You can follow Ingo and Poldi’s adventures on Instagram, and if you’re a German reader, Tanja has two books featuring the pair.

Beautiful moment

Verzeihen bedeutet nicht, allem Recht geben oder alles hinnehmen. Aber den Anderen so zu akzeptieren, wie er ist. ———————– Ich mag dieses Bild total gerne. Ingo bringt uns ja immer alles Mögliche, um dann was tolles zu bekommen – und sei es nur Lob. Dann ist er ganz stolz. Bei den Eulen probiert er das auch und bringt ihnen Hähnchenkeulen oder Spielsachen, was nicht immer in riesen Eulenbegeisterung endet – eigentlich sogar nie ;-))) Aber er lässt sich davon nie beirren. Heute hatte Ziny ein Schweineohr. Er auch, aber seins längst als erster aufgegessen. Dann sah er einen Plastikschnipsel, holte ihn und legte ihn gaaanz vorsichtig vor Ziny mit ihrem Ohr und sah sie mit grossen Augen an. Er konnte nicht verstehen, warum sie ihn nur anknurrte und das Tauschgeschäft so gar nicht gut fand ….. ;-) #animal #animals #animalphotography #bird #birds #owl #owls #owlsofinstagram #dog #dogs #malinois #dogsofinstagram #friend #friends #friendship #love #trust #nikon #nikondeutschland #nikonphotography #photo #photooftoday #winter #snow #eizo
