Farewell Anxiety
The poor dog had been looking for something or someone to give him peace of mind for a long while. And now, here it was, right in front of him, delivered to him in the most unexpected manner. George was slowly healing and the more time he spends with his companion, the more his anxiety reduced. He was getting a sense of peace from the duck.
Not About Differences
The pair does not even seem to care or be aware of their obvious difference. They were not focusing on their difference but were rather rejoicing in them. George clearly did not care about the fact that his bestie was a duck who was covered in feathers as opposed to his previous one who was covered in fur. He was grateful to have somebody next to him and it was enough.
Happy Once More
If your dog had been depressed for as long as George was, you would be rejoicing to see him perk up, right? “Since the duck has shown up, George has been fine,” the owners later revealed to interviewers, “He’s not whined. He’s not meeting you at the car, you know, looking sad.” It felt wonderful for his owners to see that their furry pet was letting them in again after 2 long years of being unresponsive.
Joining The Family
Since the white duck was the only thing that was capable of bringing George to be his old self, the owners had to accept the duck too. The only drawback was that George’s new best friend had to be given new accommodations by his owners. The duck would require a new wading pool to occasionally take a dip in. Also, poo clean-up was something that the owners had to be on standby each day now.
A New Name
As the duck and the dog did not want to be separated anymore, the owners had no choice but to take the duck in. And, now that the random white duck was now a part of the family, his owners wanted to him a name too. The family members were hardcore Republicans, so they gave the duck a new name, Donald after the Commander-in-Chief.
On Social Media
Since it is uncommon to see a duck and a dog spark up a friendship, when their story reached social media, it immediately gained attention. George and Donald’s story was something that everyone who heard about it wanted to dig into and learn more about. How was it possible for a dog to let a duck in so easily? Could his loss and loneliness from losing Blackie contribute to this at all?
