This is story about Rudy and Barclay two retrievers who’re closest friends in every aspect. It’s absolutely heartwarming to see how they spend time together even though their unique bond is largely motivated by their shared love for food. You see Pam Ishiguro keeps a flock of seven ducks in Orange County. One of them is named Rudy. When Pam initially introduced the ducks to her dog Barclay he wasn’t exactly thrilled.
At first Barclay didn’t show interest in the ducks. Enough he realized that becoming friends with them meant having access to an endless supply of delicious treats that the ducks enjoy eating too – and that quickly changed his perspective! According to Pam Barclay quite enjoys indulging in the food as his feathery companions.
Regardless of how they crossed paths it’s clear that Rudy and Barclay have developed an affection, for each other. Although Rudy may be the one who sometimes calls the shots with Barclay being more submissive Pam witnessed firsthand how well they get along.
Ishiguro mentioned that they had a love hate dynamic. When they’re, in each others company they playfully jump over. Chase each other. When they’re apart they engage in constant arguments. It seems like siblingsre involved in this scenario. Take a look, at the video provided below.
