Its All Random

Animal rescuers in Northern California say the female Dachshund mix, named Beyonce, was so small at birth that she could fit into a spoon. At two weeks, she’s about the size of a business card.

Fred, the Labrador retriever, adopts Dennis, the duckling, whose mother was mauled to death by a fox.

Fred found orphaned Dennis and licked the little duckling clean. A friendship must have been forged in that moment, as the unlikely mates sleep together, play together and even go swimming in the local pond.
Fred’s owner, Jeremy Goldsmith said “It is amazing to see the two of them together. When we found Dennis he was quite frail, and he clearly would not have survived another day on his own.”
He continued, “Fred, who has always been extremely loving, went straight up to him and began to lick the little bird clean. Since then Dennis has not stopped following him around, and Fred has pretty much adopted him.”

“Dennis snuggles up to Fred at night. He will clamber up on top of him, and they even go swimming together — but Fred is a lot less graceful in the water. I don’t think the duckling would have made it without Fred; his loving nature really does make a difference.”
