Pet ducks help calm boy with autism
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Dylan Dyke, a 12-year-old with autism, spends time with his ducks, Bill and Nibbles, outside his Georgetown Township home on Thursday, Aug. 2, 2018. A doctor designated the birds as emotional support animals. After some neighbors complained, the township ordered the removal of the ducks because the property's zoning doesn't allow for the animals. The family is seeking a variance.

hello brother
How could the neighbors complain about ducks? They literally live on a lake there’s already ducks outside anyways. Some people will just complain about anything

I can understand geese but why ducks?
This should be titled, "When ducks are better people than actual people." Look at how calm and regal they are around that boy. It is like they know and are telepathically telling the boy, "Don't worry we will not judge or hurt you like people do." 🤗🥰

What a touching comment, just awesome! Because it's true! I'm also around geese and ducks (wild ones in the local park) and they calm me down so much... it's a very spiritual and meditative experience!
They uploaded a video saying he got to keep the ducks if anyone was curious.

Dylan is an amazing and polite young man. His father clearly loves him so much and would do anything for him. I hope that he can have a long, loving lifetime passion for the Ducks

The them is the neighbours.
Don't the neighbors have compassion? 😥I have neighbors who have chickens, cats, dogs, all sorts of pets... and never once I complain about them. I appreciate our nonhuman animals the services they provide for us humans. They enrich our lives. Even the bees in my yard (nonaggressive little fellows really) are appreciated and cared for. I had ducks growing up and I know what they can offer as companions. 🥰So good that boy found someone he could connect on a deeper level and overcome his obstacles. I hope those ducks live long enough to give him as much love and attention he needs to help him. I'm currently saving up to get a turtle/tortoise as a companion. It is a lonely world out there when you are born differently from other humans, and other humans don't understand you. I wish him the best.

It's prob some Karen bitch who barely understands what autism is or how important these animals are to him. I'm autistic and if someone tried to take my friends from me I'd fight it every way I knew how.
matches my experience with work collegues from the US, they lie you you in the face "every thing is great! everything is good!" and a second later they run to the supervisor and crying their eyes out.
Oh my goodness. People?! Come on...leave the boy and his ducks alone. Seriously, do you not have anything better to do with your day?

I can say without a doubt that ducks do make great house pets. I had a pet duck when I was a kid back in the early 80's. To many peoples surprise he was house broken. He even slept with me in my bed.he was a big part of my life and a member of our family. Ducks are very loving animals.

They are very sweet and feeling animals with complex emotions. We sell them at my job at a farm supply store, and i take the injured/lame ones home so they can live happily and peacefully. I did it at first because i felt it was just the right thing to do, but as i grew to know them, i realized just how smart and loving they are. They bond with you and want your attention like any dog or cat, and are very relaxing to come home to after a long day of work. This boy has hit the jackpot of emotional support animals, and it’s a shame that other people (as per usual) are trying to take that away.
Dylan's a cutie. Such a deep voice for a 12-year-old. Would love to cuddle him.
As a ex duck owner myself it brings me joy how the boy handles the ducks and that he has two insted of one since ducks are happier with a fellow duck than alone and they seem to be in a caring home i hope they are allowed to stay

Humans: ducks are so annoying Dylan: humans are so annoying
It is now evident that animals are able to calm the stress of children with autism. They allow them to improve their ability to share with others around them. In any case, the presence of an animal always allows stress to be channeled and the child discovers that he is somehow responsible for the animal that is with him, he grows up and the link with the animal. gets stronger over time.
Aww that's sweet how much the boy loves the ducks and that they love him back!
Some neighbours are quackers...
I have 2 almost grown ducks and 4 ducklings. They do help calm stress and anxiety for me. I’m bipolar, and it’s terrible sometimes! Ducks are medicine imo. I really love them.
Love ALL quackers. Good luck, praying you keep your pets Dylan
I needed to see this today. This is beautiful. I hope he kept his ducks.
those are indeed very nice ducks
It's not like having a lion or an alligator in the garden. I hope they succed.
I too am an autistic person and I also love ducks and geese. They are very calming for me.
1st of all there is always a jerk in the neighborhood. 2nd There emotional support animals so he has the right to keep them
My autistic son finds so much comfort in animals too. He looks for them wherever he goes. He's decided to vlog his finds too, so that he and others can relive the joy over and over again.
Ducks are amazing i have pet to fly up on my shoulder and greets me
dogs: bark and howl and make noise disturbances all day and night long parrots: scream houses down to the point it can be heard down the street city council: *silence* ducks: minding their own business city council: now this is an avengers level threat
GOD bless you
Sweetest story ever. 😍😍😍
Hopefully you were able to keep your ducks 🦆
😢I hope he can keep his ducks
they look like they keep better care of those ducks by far than most people do of "regular" pets; rendering them basically irrelevant in terms of health hazards.
zoning on ducks? they are free and a wild speacies and are commonly found at lakes and ponds everywhere. so this community has a lake and has the nerve to complain about ducks being a resident at the lake? its america, animals have rights to. save the ducks🇺🇸
This is wholesome
Land of freedom. Were you are told by your neighbors on what you can and what you can't...
The neighbors should not be surprised if a kid suddenly goes ballistic on them. 😬
This is so freaking cute 😍
wonderful ❤
Duckies are real heroes ❤❤
I LOVE DUCKS
Aww it's nice to see the bond and pets are great companions especially ducks... I have a pair Drake and daisy they do the head bobbing

i hope he got to keep the ducks
People are such a holes. Let the kid have his ducks.
Ducks are highly underrated as pets, and I the title. I keep large and small pond ducks and Mandarin ducks...they are awesome emotional support animals and I support your desire to allow your son to keep them...👁️💕🦆🥂🇨🇦

Cute
Let this boy keep his ducks! They are helping him more than anyone or anything else. People suck they dont like to see anyone happy or safe or healthy. Fuck what people say! Make sure keeps his ducks even if you have to move shit the sate should pay for that!
As an autistic person, I completely relate to this
He's 12 and sounds older than me. I'm 19.
if i was their neighbour id come over to play with their ducks everyday
Crying.
The township has a problem with a pair of ducks? Get over it. Look at all the wild ducks and geese we have. They look like very well behaved animals. Some people just aren't happy unless they have something to complain about. Let the boy keep his ducks. Tell the neighbors to move. I always side with the animals. What would life be without them?👍👍👍

True, and with all those lawns around, I have trouble believing its noise that is supposed to be the problem either. There has got to be some lawn mower making loud noise damned near every day. Not to mention that dogs are at least as loud as ducks, if not more so, and no one seems to have a problem with dogs.
The dad's hair is an absolute catastrophe. Love these ducks and I wish the son well

I know exactly how you feel about them being considered emotional support animals

Do you eat duck?
Since when is it illegal to have a duck in your home
Burh not only it neighbor are jealous but ALSO the city council are angry
I heard muscovy ducks don't make a lot of noise if anyone is scared of their neighbours :) It's absolutely rude and even just cruel to force a kid to give up on his pets because they're a little noisy or whatever.
Am have Autism too
This is why I hate zoning by laws in North America.
This is why I don’t like neighbors evil they always in your business and if you go up to them nicely and ask them if there is a problem they’ll say no there isn’t but then he you go and complain just to be an asshole.I’d rather live somewhere far away from other people I prefer animals over people any day
They’re beautiful animals. It’s wrong how the neighbours reacted, and why?
Go to neighbours "ducks ok?" "yes".... Neighbours file busybody I need to still affect my environment if I need to, mememe "lawsuit, np, acting like its a death metal Rooster waking you up every morning"
Hater's gonna hate for NO REASON Drakes are quiet and make weak "wack" and the neighbor complained? Come on!
My neighbours were complaining about my RABBIT 1975.
