Four-year-old Rudy the Peking duck never thought that he would call Barclay the Golden Retriever his best friend after a few episodes of him catching Barclay trying to steal his food.
It all started when Barclay who loves eating found out that Rudy and the other ducks always have a food supply in their coop all day long.
So, he tried to sneak into their coop to steal some of the food himself but Rudy, the alpha duck of the flock caught him red-handed!
Soon, Barclay made other several visits to the coop for his sneaky plan but he always ended up being chased away by Rudy

Their owner, Pam Ishiguro said that Barclay is a very cheeky dog.
“He also likes to drink their bath water and, if he happens to be stealthy enough, he loves to sniff a little duck butt,” she tells Barcoft TV

“Rudy is our alpha duck. He is in charge of everyone and everything. When Barclay tries to sniff any of the other ducks, Rudy is there to stop it,” Ishiguro tells Barcoft TV
However, as time passed by, the duo began to develop a close friendship
