Duck Helps Depressed Dog

George is a dog that lives in Corryton, Tennessee. His companion of twelve years, a black Labrador named Blackie, died two years ago, leaving George grieving and unwilling to eat. His owner Jacquie Litton said that George refuses food and has twice come close to death. George was anxious and developed a skin condition. But that is changing. 

This past Monday Jacquie went and looked out her back window. She noticed there was a stranger on her back porch. It was a duck who hasn't left George's side since.

George spends his days by the duck, he let's the duck sleep on his bed and even allows the duck to rest his bill on his leg. Something very unusual for a dog who doesn't like anyone else especially our cameraman.

The Littons are thrilled with the way George has perked up since the duck’s arrival. But they are still adjusting to having a duck in their home. You can see more pictures and videos of George and Donald at Facebook.
