Do you remember your childhood pet? For most of us, that first companion animal was likely a cat or a dog. We have pictures of us with our pets peppered throughout old photo albums from holiday snapshots to candid (and sometimes staged).When we watch old home movies, even just a glimpse of ol’ Socks the cat or Keesha the dog can bring a smile to our face because, hey — there’s no denying how much we love our pets nor how that love stays with us even long after they’ve left the physical world. It just goes to show that even the simplest moments with our pets are meaningful and worth remembering. Take this video of a little boy napping with his duck, for example.
We wouldn’t typically think of a duck as an animal that would want to cuddle with us like a cat or a dog, but like we’ve seen from chickens, our domesticated feathered friends can be just as loving and affectionate. Judging by his sleepy smile on the little boy’s face when he’s suddenly woken up by big, flat orange feet kicking his side (albeit gently), this must not be an unusual way for him to wake up. Not only is he very lucky to have such a sweet animal friend who wants to be by his side, but this precious memory was also captured on camera. Years down the line, we hope that looking back at this moment will make him smile and bring back old memories!
