来自纽约的贾斯汀·卡纳雷利和托里·卡纳雷利一家拥有两个孩子卡梅伦和查理，还有一只宠物狗，几乎是典型的美国家庭。但他们家中还有一位非常特别的成员：一只鸭子。
“我从没想过要养一只鸭子，更没想过它会长期留在我们家，”托里在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道。
故事始于卡纳雷利夫妇为贾斯汀经营的一家园艺中心挑选一只鸭子。
他们通过脸书市集（Facebook Marketplace）找到了一只曾在长岛一所小学课堂里孵化的鸭子。不过托里并没有把这只名为路易的鸭子送到园艺中心，而是直接带回了家。
原本只是短暂寄养，路易很快就成了家中一位成员的“救星”：他们的金毛寻回犬巴利。
几年前，巴利开始出现癫痫症状。他们给巴利服用了药物，病情得到了控制，癫痫不再发作。但家人也注意到了一些不利的副作用。
“她彻底没了精气神，”托里说，“连金毛特有的活泼劲儿都消失了。”
“我们当时想，天哪，这种药得让她吃一辈子，”贾斯汀说道，“看来她就要一直这样下去了。”
但随后他们注意到路易和巴利之间渐渐建立起了深厚的情谊。这份友谊一点一滴地慢慢成形。
“她终于重新展露笑容了，”托里说，“尾巴也开始摇起来了，又重新找回了往日的个性。”
如今，这对伙伴几乎形影不离。路易会啄巴利，巴利会追着路易跑。它们一起打闹、一起放松休憩。
尽管贾斯汀和托里或许永远无法确切得知巴利身上究竟发生了怎样的转变，但他们的儿子卡梅伦给出了自己的猜测。
“她想和路易做朋友，总想着陪路易一起玩，所以好像重新找回了快乐，融入了和路易相处的时光里。”

Justin and Tori Cannarelli of New York almost have a typical American family with their two children, Cameron and Charlie, and a dog. But they also have one very unique member: a duck.
“I never expected to own a duck. Never expected him to stay long term,” Tori told CBS News.
The story unfolded when the Cannarellis sought out a duck for a garden center that is owned by Justin.
Through Facebook Marketplace, they found a duck that had hatched in a Long Island elementary school classroom. But instead of taking Louie the duck to Justin’s garden center, Tori brought him home.
It was supposed to be a short little visit, but Louie quickly became indispensable for one family member in particular: their golden retriever, Barley.
A couple of years ago, Barley had started to have seizures. They put her on medication and it worked, the seizures stopped. But the family also observed some adverse side effects.
“She just lost her spunk,” Tori said. “She lost her goldenness.”
“We thought, oh man, this medication we have to give her for the rest of her life,” Justin said. “So this is how she’s going to be.”
But then they noticed a bond building between Louie and Barley. A friendship that was being built peck by peck.
“She started smiling again,” Tori said. “She started wagging her tail. She started having personality again.”
Today, the two remain virtually inseparable. Louie pecks at Barley. And Barley chases Louie. They wrestle and relax together.
And although Justin and Tori may never know exactly what shifted within Barley, their son Cameron has a theory.
“She wanted to be friends with Louie and hang out with him a lot, so she kind of stretched her joy and fit in with him.”
