My drake, Opie, hates dogs. He's a cayuga-pekin cross, probably 8 pounds, with a gimp knee. The dog is a 50 pound labradoodle. She's TERRIFIED of him.
One day I let her out because I didn't see him around and she starts barking for no reason (her fault), and after a few minutes I can hear the 'wack wack' of Opie and the loud quacking of the females as he rounds the corner. The dog notices him and immediately begins to run to the deck. I follow her, walking, because a gimpy drake surely can't get to her before I do.
He starts RUNNING - full on running, flapping his wings to propel himself forward. He lunges up at the deck while I'm running past him to get the door open to let the dog in, and of course, she's sitting right in front of the outward swinging door. Opie's caught up, and I'm trying to move the dog, open the door, AND hold him back at the same time.
He manages to lunge through my legs and hand and grabs a hold of the skin just over her tail, just as I get the door open. She immediately tries to run in and he is hanging on to his hold on her butt and gets pulled into the house. I'm trying to pry his bill open and the dog is freaking out and yelping and he's flapping his wings like crazy. I eventually pull him off but he takes a good clump of fur with him and push him back out the door.
In typical quacker fashion, he squirted on the floor just before I could get him out.
I have many stories of him attacking the dog... he's a little dog hating butt!
immediately I fall in love and have to ask a million questions. Once I get the story out of him, my brain starts scrambling as to how I'm going to help these poor babies. Story goes.. He's at one of his stores, lady pulls up in front (not parking space, in font of the back/delivery door) pulls cage out of trunk, sets in on the ground with no words spoken to anyone and takes off... what's a person to do.. he jumps at the chance to get these ducks home, safe, and taken care of. Neither of us have any experience but thats not going to stop us from learning. I didn't realize you could tell their emotions by looking at them but you definitely can. We got them set up, it took a couple days for them to relax and only a couple more for them to become fullly integrated into our flock of 10 chickens, 2 dogs, 3 kids and us, 2 grown kids masquerading as responsible adults 
. Our first 2 ladies have passed but their little ducks are still with us. They have become best friends with our border collie - Bandon. They all play together until bandon decides it's time to "herd" them anywhere and everywhere.. they just follow her and nap under the porch while she "herds" the hens or my kids. Sometimes she herds the ducks into the house and I get to clean up the poop.. yay
