Labrador 'Adopts' Abandoned Duckling After Mother is Killed by Fox


Did they meet down the dog and duck?

Well, not quite.

A bizarre friendship has been struck up by a Labrador and a duckling after the tiny waterbird was found abandoned when its mother was killed by a fox.

Dennis the duckling was just a few days old when its mother was mauled by a vixen.

Somehow Dennis survived the attack and would have perished had it not been found next to a brook by Jeremy Goldsmith while out with his dog Fred.

Surprisingly, the Labrador took a shine to the duckling and began to clean it with its tongue. Since then, their unlikely friendship has blossomed with Fred even allowing Dennis to sit on his head.
