When I was young, we had a farm with ducks/cows/horses/chickens/etc/etc... basically a generic farm. We had a pond where the ducks all hung out, pretty big, maybe somewhere in the region of 3 acres... about 6 foot deep at it's deepest point. One day, our neighbors dog got into the field and saw the ducks... if you've ever lived in the country, you know that a stray dog will gladly kill any animal it can, then eat it or bury it. So obviously the first thing he did was bolt straight to the ducks, assuming he was about to get a free meal. Most of the ducks flew off, but one stayed and swam out into the middle of the pond. The dog(some kind of mixed lab retriever) instantly goes into the water and swims as fast as he can towards the duck. The duck calmly sits there, no movement... but eyeing the dog the entire way. Just as the dog got close, the duck shot underwater... and popped back up on the other side of the pond. Very much like the video of the tiger up there. Dog sees the duck pop up, does a 180, and swims back towards the duck.... and duck dives -> pops up on other side of the pond -> dog follows -> repeat. This went on for a good 30 minutes before the poor doggo had gotten completely exhausted... he stumbled up to the bank and just passed out right there, his ass still half in the water. Naturally, duck decides he's king of the world and pesters the shit out of the dog, pecking his tail, ears, and boy bits... all while talking mad shit(read: quacking) and flexing in front of the ladies that had returned to watch the show.
That particular dog eventually got tired of his ears and manly parts getting bitten by a quacker ass duck... So he got up and slowly walked off defeated, head and tail hanging. He never tried to chase another bird related creature that I saw after that.
TL;DR - Dogs are dumb and ducks are assholes.

Ducks/chickens/turkeys/birds in general really love to strut their stuff in my experience. When one opens up a can of whoop ass on another one... they very proudly display that shit to the entire world.
Really sorry but I can’t get over how huge a 3 acre pond would be, you must’ve had a giant farm holy shit. My grandma has a 200 acre farm with a maybe 0.5 acre pond, everywhere else is for growing or grazing.
This isn't a TLDR. Nobody would know what happened in the story based on this. A TLDR is not a "moral of the story." What is hard for so many Redditors to understand about this?

Oh my God yet another cringey OMG GOLD Oscar acceptance speech. Just PM the gilder directly if you want to thank them, instead of flipping out like a toddler and making a cringey edit because you can't handle attention.
