When two animals can't get enough of each other, the sweetest scenes and memories are made. A friendly Dachshund decides to welcome a new addition to the family when a wild egg is found in the backyard in this video from September 2019.

Lulu has been her family's beloved pup for years; they have thousands of dedicated fans who tune in to see their antics on a weekly basis. Although the family has adopted ducks before in the past, they were not expecting an egg to randomly appear in the yard.

Although it was debated whether or not to originally take the egg in, it appeared as though the egg wasn't even in a nest, and that it was just left there by the mother. Certainly, without any intervention, the egg would be devoured by some predator that would pass through the yard.

Rather than risk such a fate for the little duckling that was theoretically inside of the speckled shell, the decision was made to bring the little egg inside and see what happens when it was placed under a heat lamp and cared for. The video of what happens next unfolds into a true family love story!

The video opens up with a little duckling hatching from its egg. It's incredibly small and adorable, hey gentle hand places it under a heat lamp to dry. It can barely move, but it eventually begins to open its eyes and make small chirping noises. The entire time it's happening, there's an adorable black Dachshund named Lulu that's nearby to watch the events.

The gentle hand picks up the duckling and gives it to Lulu to sniff; the dog is amazed by how delicate the little duckling is. As the duckling begins to develop and mature, the Dachshund observes its growth with awe.

While sleeping on a snow-white towel, Lulu gently observes the duckling as it sleeps. They are already almost Inseparable. The dog is certainly taken to the duckling as a surrogate mother.

Every single day, Lulu gives her little duckling a thorough tongue bath. Afterward, the duckling's feathers are fluffed and preened to perfection. As always, their interactions are monitored by their human Guardian to make sure that everything stays safe and friendly!

The duckling can frequently be found attempting to snuggle ever closer into the small crevices of Lulu As She lays down. The little duck truly enjoys the feeling of security and warmth that Lulu provides, and she's easily seen as a motherly figure.

The high-resolution camera captures every adorable moment in an absolutely heart-melting setting. The pleasant music really sets the atmosphere for the entire video; it plays throughout the entire length of it and doesn't have any jarring moments that throws the audience off.

After putting together such a masterpiece, the human mama posted the cute video to YouTube, where it has since garnered over one million views and thousands of comments. Everyone has speculated as to why a dog, descended from wolves, has taken such a friendly attitude towards such a vulnerable duckling. Some have worried that the duckling would eventually be snapped up as a Dachshund snack!

However, if the video is anything to evaluate the relationship, seeing the pair about to fall asleep adorably together, with eyes struggling to stay awake, leaves us with a great deal of confidence that Lulu and her little duckling will be just fine going into the future.
