Reddit user I2izzo took this photo of a dog and duck going for a swim. The two have had a serious bond for at least three years.
The duck is too fat to fly and apparently swimming is too much of an effort so he has taken the dog as his lifelong buddy.
Dude, Im pretty sure Ive seen ducks like you swimming.
No, no. Ducks drop like a rock. Just keep paddling. Youre doing fine.

It is easy to become incensed at the light punishments given to people who are convicted of committing even the cruelest acts of animal torture and death. Too often they are just given suspended sentences and community service.
And even worse, there is nothing to prevent them from acquiring another animal to abuse, even if they are ordered not to have a pet for a period of time.
People who abuse innocent, helpless animals are wired wrong. They are cowardly sadists. Maybe they can change, I...
