Meet Ingo and Poldi: Tiny rescued owl and dog are madly in love | White Wolf Pack

OMG, you MUST see these photos! It is the most amazing and sweetest thing! All I can say is, this is so incredible! <3 <3 <3 ~PB




Tanja Brandt is a German photographer who has dedicated her career towards photographing animals and wildlife.
In one of her most recent projects, Brandt shot photographs of a highly unlikely pair of friends – Ingo, the Belgian shepherd; and Poldi (Napoleon), the one-year-old owlet.


Brandt describes the relationship between Ingo and Poldi as somewhat of a ‘protector-protected’ relationship. Ingo is a guardian for Poldi, whom Brandt states “doesn’t know how to live free”.


Poldi didn’t hatch until two days after his six brothers and sisters, and has always been very vulnerable due to his size. Ingo, on the other hand, comes from a family of strong and oftentimes ruthless police dogs.


Ingo is very protective over the year-old owlet, and their bond is as strong off-camera as it appears in Tanja’s photographs.


“They respect each other and they can read each other.”

Even though Ingo is physically stronger and protective over him, it is clear that the Poldi also takes care of his canine companion. Their friendship is ultimately mutual – they love and care for one another – and this is clear in Brandt’s photographs.
