FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (WLS) -- A special Koi fish has a Frenchie wishing she could be part of his world.

A French bulldog named Daisy developed the unusual bond about a year ago, according to her owner. Carrie Bredy and her husband were expanding their backyard Koi pond when they added Frank, a Chagoi Koi.

"Daisy just started begging to go to the pond and every single time, Frank comes straight to her," Bredy said. "She ignores the other fish. She goes straight to him. If he's all the way at the other end, he comes flying across from the water."

There may be plenty of fish in the pond, but there is only one in the eyes of Daisy.

"Daisy licks and Frank has his own special fishy way of kissing -- you know, 'bloop bloop bloop.' He comes right out of the water and their mouths meet," Bredy said. "They kiss and they kiss and they kiss."

KOMO reports that Bredy has chronicled the love story on Facebook and Instagram, drawing the attention of thousands of people across the globe.

"Out of the three dogs, none have paid any mind to the pond except Daisy," Bredy said. "French Bulldogs can't swim, which makes it the tragedy of unrequited love."
