This 10-Year-Old's Friendship With His Pet Duck Is Beyond Amazing (Photos)

by Robert Anthony

Sure, a dog is a man's best friend, but what if you're just a 10-year-old kid?!

We came across an interesting pair of best friends named Jonny and Nibbles. Jonny, a 10-year-old from California, has known Nibbles, an 11-month-old Rouen duck, since it first hatched. Ever since then, they've been best friends.

As a matter of fact, they became so close, Jonny's mom, Jamie Toschi, created a Facebook page and a YouTube account to post all of Jonny and Nibbles' interactions.

I mean, it's not every day you get a chance to see a loyal duck interact with his human best friend.

It's like something out of a cartoon!

But their bond didn't just form when Nibbles was born. According to Daily Mail, Jonny was previously best friends with Daisy, Nibbles' mother who passed away a month after giving birth to seven ducklings.

Now, Nibbles fills the void in Jonny's life by being the best friend he could ever ask for.

Check out the photos below for a closer look!

Yes, it's true, his best friend is an 11-month-old duck!

We've seen plenty of tight bonds between children and pets, but this has to be one of the most obscurely awesome duos we've ever come across.

Jonny and Nibbles watch television together...

Go on bike rides around their neighborhood...

...and show off Jonny's Big Wheel in style!

They even kiss before Jonny leaves for school!

The bond between these two little dudes is unlike any other.

We know what they'll be doing this summer!
