Due to imprinting, these two ducklings believe that George the dog is their mother.
Imprinting is when a young animal comes to recognize that another animal, person, or thing is a parent or an object of habitual trust.
And these ducklings named Rockhopper and Peanut first latched on to George when George’s family took them in.
George was the first thing the ducklings saw, leading them to believe that George is their mother!
And not only that, but the adorable ducklings also believe that they too are dogs!
As you will see in the video below, they follow George around everywhere he goes.
If he stops, they stop. If he sits, they sit. If he runs, they run.
It is absolutely hysterical to watch. And the funniest part (as if it isn’t funny enough) is listening to these ducklings waddle around on the concrete. That, and George’s annoyed face:
