Adorable. Mama duck knew exactly what the officers were doing for her.

My Boerboel was listening to the ducks on the speakers, cocking her head and crying. She wanted to help the ducks herself.

And what may I ask is Boerboel? fish/fowl/kitty?

Boerboels are South African mastiffs, giant dogs similar to the bull mastiff. Zilla is ten months old and weighs 115 lbs. She's a sweetheart, wants to protect everything. She recognized the duckling's distress calls and wanted to do something about it.

Aww. That's totally sweet.

Zilla is totally sweet. She always lets me know when she thinks something is wrong and needs my attention. She's still a puppy yet, but when she's mature she will be a formidable guard dog. But she will still want to protect little baby things...with her life. :)
