In a small town in Iowa, an unlikely friendship has captured hearts around the world — between an 8-year-old boy and a pet duck named Peepers.
Each morning, Peepers waddles to the end of the driveway as the school bus picks up his best friend, Owen. But it’s what happens in the afternoon that sparked a viral sensation.
As the bus returns, Peepers is already waiting by the road. The moment Owen steps off, Peepers flaps excitedly and runs to greet him — sometimes even quacking loudly as if asking about his day.
A neighbor filmed one of these joyful reunions and posted it online:
“The purest friendship I’ve ever seen.”
The video went viral overnight — racking up millions of views:
“Why can’t humans love like this?”
“Owen and Peepers need their own TV show.”
Owen says:
“Peepers is my best buddy — he always waits for me.”
