Peg The Duck Can Waddle On Two Legs Thanks To What These Students Did

When young minds come together to save an animal’s life and help it walk again, we can only cry happy tears, like this woman did when she saw her duck run on the green field!

Here’s a story where technology and kindness worked hand in hand to help Peg the Duck walk. And the people who made all of this happen were not surgeons or prosthetics experts. The saviors are children from a rural school!

Not only did they become heroes, but also famous! Here’s how they managed to help this adorable duck run again.

Baby Duck

How did Peg the Duck got so famous overnight? Let’s check out the entire story and meet the young heroes that helped this Indian Runner Duck to, well… RUN!

The story began when Patsy Smith found a tiny baby duck: “We found Peg sitting on the bank and he hadn’t been hatched long.”

The Duck Was in a Terrible Condition

Smith has been raising ducks for a long time, but she never saw a duck in such a rough condition. The poor baby duck only had a foot! “When I picked him up I noticed his foot was gone and was in horrible condition.

Evidently a turtle had bitten his foot off,” concluded the owner.

Then, the baby duck grew older…

Irritated Leg

The duck grew and grew, but instead of getting used to walking on a leg, the now eight-month old duck had an irritated stump that was causing more problems.

Smith had to do something, so she started contacting animal rescue operations to help Peg walk again.

But then, she got a call…

Here to Help Peg!

Smith had no idea that a group of eighth-graders in Armorel High School from northeastern Arkansas would be the ones to save the duck’s life!

They had to take measurements of Peg’s leg. Check out the duck waddling again in the grass!
