George was a Muscovy duck who lived for many
years on the San Antonio Riverwalk. She was so
friendly to humans that she became a tourist
attraction. On the early morning of May 29, 2013
while George was sleeping under a tree, she was
approached by two men who tortured and
strangled her to death. This book is a tribute to George
who made many smile. It is my hope that those
responsible for taking the life of such a beloved duck
will be found and held accountable.

George always stood out in a crowd. She was a

Muscovy duck with unique colors on her

feathers.

Her feathers weren't the only thing original

about George.

Why?

She was more human than bird and genuinely

friendly.

The San Antonio Riverwalk in Texas is where

George lived. Unlike other ducks, who were

shy, George trusted humans alot. She would

approach people without fear to ask for tacos.

George slept under a tree near the river.

How did George become so friendly to

humans?

Locals who knew George said that the other

ducks on the Riverwalk didn't like George

because she was different.

Some people thought she wasn't a duck at all

but a cross between a duck and goose.

The other ducks must have thought George

was a strange creature too because they

wouldn't play with her.

When the other ducks wouldn't play with her

George could have sulked or ran away from

the Riverwalk. But she didn't. She made the

best of it.

If the other ducks wouldn't be her friend then

the people of the Riverwalk would. Every

morning George would wake up and walk to

the patio of a Mexican restaurant to play her

peeking game with the people who worked

there.

George would peek around the corner of the

patio while the restaurant workers were setting

up the tables. When they saw George they

would talk to her and she would go hide.

George would play hide and seek several times

with them until she said "Good Morning" with a

quack. This game became a daily tradition

between George and the people at the

restaurant. Eventually George was adopted as

the restaurant mascot.
