Today's extreme K9 is Cleo!
"A dog and a duck hanging out might "quack" you up, but that's just normal to best buds Sterling the duck and Cleo the Labrador retriever mix. Owner Tiffany Smith decided to introduce the unlikely friends after Sterling lost his duck pal. The two got off to a really rocky start. "The dog didn't like the duck at first," Smith says. "But Sterling kept following her everywhere, and eventually Cleo got used to the duck being around." The pair spends most of the day playing in the pond and exploring the tall grasses in the backyard. When it's bedtime, they share a kennel. But rather than curling up in the corner, Sterling will rest his head on the dog's stomach as they snooze. They also share food. Sterling prefers dog chow over duck feed and sometimes eats out of Cleo's bowl. Says Smith, "It's the best relationship between animals I've ever seen."
