The family brought the ducklings home and cared for them as they grew.
At home, the ducklings met Bambi, the miniature Dachshund.
A touching encounter
At the start of the video, you can see the baby ducklings in their incubator. Bambi watches them very closely. At this point, the ducklings had only met the little dog through the glass of their incubator.
But Bambi's presence must have had a profound effect on them as they grew. A few weeks later, footage shows the ducklings out of their incubator and completely drawn to him! They are seen in the garden, running after the little dog as if he were their mother...
A case of mistaken identity
Bambi senses he's being followed and turns around, as if to say: ”What do these two birds want with me?” He barks at them, as if telling them: ”Stop following me!” But it's no use; the ducklings just follow him all the more. They have clearly imprinted on him, believing this furry animal, slightly bigger than them, is their mother and that they must follow him...
On TikTok, 240,000 people were charmed by the video. In the comments, they shared their thoughts: ”They are Duckshunds!” one user wrote, a clever mix of 'Dachshund' and 'duckling'. Another joked: ”I don't think she's ready to be a mother.”
Others commented, ”It's like a real-life children's book,” while some were inspired: ”I think I'm going to get ducklings for my Dachshund now.” Their relationship truly is heartwarming to watch!
