Toby and Sheila, a love story

Toby and Sheila is the heartwarming story of a beagle’s love for his adopted mommy, a mallard duck.

Now, the fact that Sheila is very obviously a male mallard duck shouldn’t be an issue: perhaps Sheila was simply undergoing “transition” and gender reassignment during the period these images were taken. As you will see, the love between Sheila and Toby can surmount any physical barrier, no matter how challenging.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is true love.

And here is the translation, from reddit via TYWKIWDBI:

Translation: In 1994, Toby arrived at the Mac Kenzie ranch. Incredibly, Sheila–an old duck–adopted him. They lived together in a beautiful relationship. Some time after, Sheila died of old age.

So, the Mac Kenzies decided to embalm her. (Perfectly logical.) This is the video of the moment when Toby returned to see Sheila.

    That was heartwarming. No, wait. That gave me heartburn. I think I feel a little queasy.

    I’ve seen couples that this reminded me of. Actually, remember Shaun of the Dead?

    That was so sweet, till they ran with the freaking duck through a paddock. Come on, that`s just really f***ing weird.

    Oh! Now I found the tiny, tiny little Comments link. Thanks. That dog having affection in his heart is touching. Yes, even with the beak falling off. ‘

    This one was Fark, I think. Can’t understand why it isn’t going viral, though. It’s kind of trainwreck fabulous.
