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.

In fact, Im pretty sure they can fly too.
Fly? What nonsense is that?

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...

During the 150 missions Gundlach and Casey performed together, she never missed an explosive. He gives her full credit for making it back alive.
On Friday, thanks to some great people in Iowa who believe that as long as there are veterans, they should do everything they can to...
