The unexpected connection between a dog and a duck is an example of how animals can create extraordinary bonds of friendship. This is how Max the Husky met his best buddy Quackers the Duck, proving that friendship knows no species boundaries.
Max was adopted by Patrick and Kirsten Riley of Strout, Minnesota, when he was around 5 years old. Sasha, another Husky in the family at the time, formed friends with the dog almost instantly.
Unfortunately, Sasha died, leaving a hole in Max’s heart at the moment, which he would soon fill with his new buddy. Max was ecstatic when his parents decided to adopt Quackers. d a pair of ducks who collaborate on everything

The couple had lost a handful of pals when they got Quackers together. Max’s companionship provided comfort to the duck. It was fair to say that the feelings were reciprocal, and the two new friends would no longer be alone.
Kirsten, Max and Quackers’ mother, recalls:
“They sleep together, eat together, drink together, and go on road walks together.” They collaborate on everything.
The eccentric pair of pals liked to hang out near the road. Strout is a little town with only approximately 25 inhabitants, yet they are well-known there.
Alisa Godejahn, a family neighbor, added:
“On the walk home, I always hope they’re there because they’re too valuable to miss.” People frequently come to a halt there. Because of all the images they take of them, traffic gets stalled there at times.’

The two companions even share a garage bedroom, and it’s not unusual to hear webbed feet and jumping feet scampering around in the morning. It may even be accompanied with a squawk and a bark at times.
