Friendship is truly unconditional and in some cases, unlikely as well. Ingo the dog has found friends in other furry creatures- you will never guess it- owls!
Tanja Brandt, who is Ingo’s owner and that facilitator of this friendship also happens to be an animal photographer by profession and has been an animal lover for as long as he can remember.
