The unlikeliest of friendships are the most beautiful ones and this is all the proof you need. The unique friendship between Ingo, the shepherd dog, and Poldi, the owl, went viral on social media when it was shared a few years ago. Now we come to you with even more photographs of the doggo and his owl friends. Ingo and his owl friends are a part of Tanja Brandt’s family.

She is an amazing animal photographer who uses these feathered and furry creatures as inspiration for her photographs. They are the perfect models to showcase the beautiful bond between two very different species. Tanja has loved animals since she was a small child. Her parents felt differently and this is why she used to hide all sorts of pets she came across. She believes that many people could learn from the power, beauty, loyalty, courage, and friendship of animals.
