A TikTok video shows a woman consulting with a pet communicator about her foster dog, Lily Lynn. The communicator claims the dog is missing a specific item from her past. The video then documents the owner’s attempt to fulfill that request.
The clip begins with the woman, identified in the video as Ashley Pelkoski, listening to an off-screen voice. On-screen text states, “2 weeks ago I spoke with a pet communicator about Lily Lynn & there is one thing she wanted back.” The communicator’s voice is heard asking, “What happened to the duck? The duck? There was a yellow duck, uh, a duck. Do you have a duck toy for her?”
Pelkoski responds in the video, “No, I don’t have a duck toy. She doesn’t like toys and she doesn’t like treats.” The communicator then states, “She once had, and it comes across as a friend, a yellow duck. If you want to buy this dog anything, number one, buy her a yellow duck. That is it. And give it a name.” The voice adds, “Because she definitely had a friend once that had a yellow duck, and the yellow duck is missing from her life, and that’s the one thing that she wants to have back.”
The dog’s reaction to the new toy is captured on camera
According to the video’s creator, the video transitions to show Lily Lynn, a light brown bulldog-type dog, lying on a rug. On-screen text reads, “So I bought her a yellow duck!” A new yellow duck plush toy is placed in front of her. Pelkoski’s voice asks, “Are you so excited? You’re reunited with your duck!” The footage shows the dog beginning to gently lick and mouth the toy.
As the dog interacts with the toy, text appears stating, “We named her Miss Gloria.” Pelkoski exclaims, “You’re reunited with Gloria, your duck! What do you think?” She adds, “Oh my gosh, she hasn’t touched a toy like this yet.” The video shows the dog playfully nudging and licking the duck. Pelkoski continues, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, she’s so excited. Are you so excited to be back with your ducky? Yeah! Yeah, your ducky has been missing you. Now you’re back with your ducky.”
The clip then shows a series of scenes featuring Lily Lynn with the duck. She appears to be sleeping peacefully with the toy under a blanket on a dog bed. On-screen text reads, “They’ve been inseparable ever since.” Other shots show her sleeping on a pink blanket with the duck and cuddling it while wearing a grey top.
The video concludes and sparks a strong reaction in the comments
The video ends with Lily Lynn sitting next to her yellow duck toy, looking at the camera. The final on-screen text says, “Lily Lynn and her friend Miss Gloria forever.” The video’s public caption states, “She legit did not care about toys until Miss Gloria came back into her life.”
The post has garnered numerous comments from viewers. One comment reads, “That lady said where the HELL is her yellow duckie.” Another states, “And you said she ‘doesn’t really like or play with toys’.” A particularly emotional comment shared, “What I’m about to say is really weird. But I’ve been struggling hard lately. A few days ago I asked for a sign from the universe in the form of a big yellow fuzzy duck, if everything was going to be okay. Radio silence until right now at a very dark moment. I’m sitting here crying. This video literally saved my life.” The emotional power of animal videos extends beyond heartwarming reunions, as a family’s petting zoo event later led to rabies shots for all attendees.
