Five year old Kylie Brown has a special friend. Her\u00a0pet duck ‘Snowflake’ turns\u00a0heads wherever he goes. From making school visits to teach kindness to children, to walking the streets of Freeport, Maine, the pair sure have a special bond.<\/p>\n

Kylie and Snowflake first met last Summer after Kylie’s parents brought him home. The two immediately bonded and a video of the pair went viral just after the New Year, gaining over 10 million views.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of sad stuff going on in the news and it was just awesome to have a story that made everyone happy,” Kylie’s father, Mike Brown, said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Pet Education Project in Louisiana saw the story, and wanted to honor Kylie for being a responsible pet owner.<\/p>\n

Kylie didn’t know she was getting the award at her school assembly; where appropriately, the theme was kindness.<\/p>\n

Snowflake was another surprise for Kylie and the kids, so she can teach the other students about taking care of pets.<\/p>\n

“It just goes to show it doesn’t matter what kind of pet you have, when you have a kid, they need to know how to take care of them.” Mike Brown said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kylie takes care of snowflake like a child. She feeds him, they nap together and they play together.<\/p>\n

“It was love at first sight for both of them,” Mike Brown said. “We never expected it would be like it is right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even on the coldest winter day, their bond can warm the world.<\/p>\n
