The Young family has two toddlers living in the house - a baby and a duck. The duck, a poofy-haired little guy named Beaker, or Bee for short, lives inside like a dog and wears a little diaper. He has been baby Tyler's best friend all through his first year and a half of life. Their friendship has been documented on a Facebook page called Mr. T and Bee: A Tale of a Boy and His Ducks, which has close to 5,000 followers.
The popularity of the page is likely related to the unbelievable cuteness of all the photos and videos posted by Tyler's mom, Jennifer.
Watch below as Bee and Tyler entertain each other at bathtime:

Though the family used to keep ducks only as outdoor pets, Bee is the exception. Though it sounds odd, it "isn't nearly as weird as it seems," says Young, according to The Dodo. "At first I laughed out loud when I learned people kept ducks inside wearing a diaper. Bee is just as loyal, smart, and sweet as any dog or cat."
Bee was trained on a harness and is now as well-behaved as any other trained pet.
"When my son was 9 months old, my husband and I brought home a duckling. Their bond was instant and incredible," says Young, according to Mashable. The human-duck pair is now completely inseparable.
