Best friends come in every shape and size, but can you picture this unlikely pair, a dog and an owl, finding any common ground? Their beautiful friendship is both adorable and surprising, reported Bored Panda.

This dog, a shepherd named Ingo, has to be one of the sweetest dogs on the planet to just lay there without a care in the world. Not even bothering that Ollie, a teeny tiny owl, is using him as a perch. And it takes a minute to realize the owl is indeed an owl and not a stuffed toy.

You know how owls are, those steady non-blinking, head-swiveled-to-the-side, wide-eyed stares; they don't look real. This little guy has that stare, wondering why someone is bothering the moment between the best buds.

The exhausted shepherd seems to be so tired, Mashable ventures to guess it could be from all of the fun he has had with his new best friend. Perhaps. Or perhaps he is gearing up for a big night out, as we all know what "night owls" owls are. He could have a big night on the town planned, and this silly little feathered friend is his wing man.
