However, quite the opposite has happened. A wonderful friendship quickly developed between the duck and the dog. So much so that they can’t do without each other since.
Dennis has only one thing in mind in the morning: find Fern
The first thing that does Dennis the morning is to start running all over the farm looking for Fern. As soon as they find each other, there are endless chases and games. They are always glued to each other, except when the duck is bathing in the basin. There, the dog prefers to stay on solid ground and watch over him from a safe distance. ” She’s not brave enough to join him there yet, but she stands by and watches him. So he is safe », says Sarah Jayne on this point.
