Friendship Goals: A Dog and Duck Duo That’ll Melt Your Heart
Animals have a knack for friendship that puts us humans to shame. They don’t care about species or appearances—they just choose their friends with their hearts.
Take Barclay, a lovable golden retriever, and Rudy, a feisty four-year-old Pekin duck. Their bond is a perfect example of what true friendship looks like, even if it started a little… awkwardly.
Barclay first stumbled into Rudy’s world while sneaking bites of stolen duck chow. Naturally, Rudy—the self-appointed alpha of his flock—wasn’t having it. He chased Barclay off like a boss. But Barclay kept coming back, and what started as a food feud soon blossomed into an unbreakable friendship.
Pam Ishiguro, their owner, shares that when these two are together, chaos and laughter follow. They’re always chasing each other, creating a whirlwind of feathers and fur. But when separated, the dynamic duo can’t stand it—they’re constantly calling out for each other.
Now, their bond has grown into something truly heartwarming. They don’t just play together—they cuddle, hang out, and share a life full of quirky moments. Barclay has a hilarious habit of drinking Rudy’s bathwater (yes, really) and sneakily sniffing duck butts when he thinks no one’s looking. Rudy, for his part, has become a fan of climbing all over his furry friend.
Their connection goes deeper than just fun and games. These two are like brothers from another mother, proving that sometimes the most unlikely friendships are the most rewarding. They’ve found something truly special in each other—a bond that’s equal parts goofy, heartwarming, and inspiring.
So, what do you think—could this oddball pair teach us a thing or two about friendship? Let us know in the comments!
