The unusual saga of Juan the Duck continues to capture the hearts of Mendoza, Argentina, citizens, both fascinating and confusing people around the world.
Juan was a beloved figure in Mendoza. As the pet of florist Margarita Flores, he had become a local celebrity, with people leaving food, water, and gifts for him whenever they passed by the store.
Everything changed when the animal began pecking at dogs, causing owners to file complaints with local authorities. These complaints ultimately led to Juan being taken back to Flores’ home, and a campaign to bring him back.
