A man on a short journey from Charlotte to Asheville encountered an unexpected travel companion—a fellow passenger’s emotional support duck! Thanks to social media enthusiast Jack Thompson, we got an inside look at this quacking adventure. Surprisingly, this adorable little duck made the rowdy children around us look well-behaved.
According to reports, the duck, named Oliver, was impressively calm throughout the flight. His owner, Lisa Harper, didn’t even need to offer any cringe-worthy goodie bags to soothe other passengers. It turns out that bringing farm animals on planes as emotional support is becoming a trend, which might just be the solution for families traveling with kids. Having a charming duck beside me would definitely ease my nerves and make my kids look like little angels in comparison.
Jack, clearly an animal lover, even shared that his Twitter profile features him with a goat, and he’s the author of a book on farm animals. As for Oliver, he was prescribed to Lisa for her PTSD, which developed after a serious accident in 2015. Her doctor found that Oliver provided her with much-needed comfort and helped prevent panic attacks. After witnessing Oliver on the flight, Jack and the other passengers understood why!
Oliver spent the journey entertaining everyone, wagging his tail and gazing out the window at the fluffy clouds—quite the sight! I must admit, it’s a bit frustrating that this little bird could handle flying better than my own six-year-old. And let’s not forget, Oliver even sported some chic red shoes that made my son’s sneakers look plain!
