When trucker Joe Mansheim spent $700 on a duck hunting dog which refused to hunt ducks, his boss joked that he should have just spent the money on a duck instead. And so he did.
What began as a joke has blossomed into a friendship between Mansheim and Frank, a duck who travels along on all of Mansheim's truck rides, perched happily in the front seat. "I'm a duck hunter but I don't consider Frank a duck. I just consider him a friend," says Mansheim, who seems absolutely in love with his little buddy. "Stupid as it sounds maybe if more people had a duck in their lives we wouldn't be all so mad at each other."
