(WFLA) – A rather unexpected creature was providing emotional support to a passenger on a flight from Charlotte to Asheville in North Carolina.

Mark Essig shared this image with NBC. It shows Daniel, an emotional support duck. Daniel was allowed on the flight to support a passenger worried about flying.

Daniel in his red booties and Captain America diaper relaxed everybody on the flight. He quietly quacked, looking out the window.

His owner said that Daniel is a 4-year-old Indian runner duck certified for his emotional support.
