Remember the 8-Year-old Girl Who Became Mother to a Duck? They're Now Using Their Cuteness for Therapy

Remember the 8-Year-old Girl Who Became Mother to a Duck? They're Now Using Their Cuteness for Therapy
Kylie Brown and Snowflake the Duck are now using their friendship as therapy for other people who may need a feathered friend.

You may be familiar with Kylie Brown and Snowflake the duck after their adorable story first appeared in the media a few years ago.

For one reason or another, Snowflake became particularly attached to the 8-year-old girl  in 2015 after her parents first brought him home. No matter where she went, he was determined to be by her side-they are now inseparable.

So when Snowflake refused to leave Kylie in the house and stay in the backyard, her parents simply gave him a diaper and welcomed him into their home as a "house duck".

Together, Kylie and her feathered friend have gone on family vacations; attended soccer practices; gone sledding; and even been trick-or-treating.

Kylie, who insists that she is Snowflake's mother, is now working on getting Snowflake licensed as a therapy duck so they can use their adorable relationship to bring joy to other people as well.
