Poldi, the owlet and Ingo, the German Shepherd |
Yet another heart-warming story about animals. When humans misbehave with conflict, violence and wars, I always turn to our animals and one can always find something touching and inspirational. In their silence and humility, they can always teach us something positive and good. 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 and that their affection towards 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. Comparatively, Ingo was
raised by a family of strong, and oftentimes ruthless, police dogs.“They
respect each other and they can read each other,” says
the photographer.
