If you’re familiar with the Newfoundland breed then you know that they are often referred to as “gentle giants”.
When they’re adults, they are known for being great companions for not only young children but also with many other animals.
That’s because Newfies generally have a very laid-back attitude and they’re lovers, not haters.
Unless of course, you have a Newfie that has a strong prey drive, then you probably don’t want them being around your daughter’s guinea pig.
Leroy was one of the most laid-back Newfies that I’ve ever known when it came to other animals.
Frogs used to jump all over him and I think a squirrel walked up to him once and gave him a nut.
He just didn’t bat an eye.
Sherman on the other hand wanted to eat any small rodent that came into his space.
Anyway, today I wanted to introduce you to one of the cutest friends on the internet today, Biss and Olee.
Biss is a brown Newfoundland and Olee is a duck and they’re best buds!

Biss’s real name is Sven and he’s actually family to us!
Sven comes from the same rescue as Odin, Newfoundhaven in Oklahoma.
He was adopted when he was 5 months old and Olee, whose real name is Olaf, was adopted from a friend when he was 1 month.
They both live together on a small farm in Oklahoma and they’ve been inseparable since almost the first time they met.

Their daily activities include lounging in the pool together, playing on the farm and they even go shopping together!
Olaf’s favorite place to shop appears to be Tractor Supply where he can often be found waddling through the aisles looking for the best deals on farm supplies.

Not only do they have their own Instagram and TikTok accounts but they recently released a new children’s book.
The book is now available for purchase and it’s called The Adventures of Biss & Olee: Play on the Farm.
It looks like there will be a series of books coming in the future too!

This adorable pair was recently featured on The Dodo and if you have a chance, you should check out the amazing video!
If you’re wondering about Sven’s eyes, according to his owner, Sven has cherry eye and ectropion which are both common medical conditions seen in Newfies.
As a puppy, Sven had 2 surgeries before he was adopted.
After he was adopted by his current family he had a lower lid lift done and will be having another cherry eye surgery done in 2022.
So don’t worry, he’s well cared for!
I think they make the most adorable pair and I hope you’ll join me in following along on their adventures!
