I Capture The Unexpected Friendship Between My Dog And My Duck On Film (25 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Natacha and I am an 18 years old amateur photographer living on a farm in Southern France. I love to combine my two main passions - animals and photography - in one.

My newest photography series is about the friendship between my dog and my duck. Vendetta, the dog, is an old German Shepherd female. And Lemony is an Indian Runner Duck.

Vendetta is such a sweet and friendly dog with everyone and every animal that when Lemony arrived in our home as a duckling in June 2018, I hadn't any apprehension of putting them together. To my surprise, Lemony was absolutely not afraid and started to follow Vendetta everywhere.

Vendetta is completely in love with water so naturally, I began to take Lemony together with us to the lake, and then even to the woods and the city.

It's really important for me to show this special bond because I truly hope that this will help people to see ducks in a different way - not only as "foie gras" or something but as the sensitive animals they are.

Still, I've got a lot of projects and shooting ideas with them but here are some shots that I wish you to show. I hope you will enjoy them!

Update: I have to say that the reactions on my first post really touched my heart. As I didn’t know that it could make people happier this way (guess I was expecting more reactions like: “Ok, cool. A duck and a dog. Now let us fight about politics”). So, thank you so much from the heart!

Equally sure, it is not a bad photo. I love the way the water distortion make her paws and legs look as though she is not much more than a puppy, that she hasn´t quite grown into them yet.

That’s a classic example of a duck doing what ducks (and any other waterfowl) do. He imprinted on the dog when he was tiny and as far as the duck is concerned, the dog is Mom. It’s hilarious to watch. A bunch of geese once imprinted on my father. He had to walk them to the beaver dam (we had one on the farm) in the morning for their swim and then back to the yard for the day. It was hilarious watching this 6 foot + man with a dozen tiny goslings struggling through the grass to follow him.

Young lady you are on the road to fame. My Saint Bernards loved our chickens and ducks and the Canadian Geese, and no not eating them. I had several giant parrots (red macaws, blue and gold mccawds, hyacinth, conures, and they would call to the Saint Bernards who would come and they would hop on their heads and walk to the dogs back and the dog would take them daily on tours from the basement to the 2nd floor and then back to their bird room (yes a 150 sq ft bedroom just for the birds....
