Duck wearing shoes becomes social media hit after being spotted in Glasgow

A DUCK has become famous on social media for being walked on a lead in Glasgow.

"Frosty" has been spotted at popular spots including George Square, St Enoch’s centre, and Glasgow Fort while on a leash or in a child’s pram.

Shoppers have been left both baffled and buzzing after spotting Frosty who even wears boots while being taken walks.

Ryan McGinlay was one of the people who spotted Frosty and took a picture captioning it: "Someone’s taking their DUCK on a walk at the Glasgow Fort.

"Yes, that’s its pram!"

The cute creature became viral on TikTok as the account FrostyTheDuck gained hundreds of followers and thousands of likes.

Frosty’s owners have remained anonymous at this time, but have interacted with followers on social media by thanking them for their support.

One fan asked: “Curious to know how you end up with a pet duck? I saw you up the fort on Friday night.”

The account replied: “Hubby made a joke about it and I went and got one.”

They also explained how Frosty’s shoes are from Temu and that they are cautious of dogs while out on walks.

Other followers were quick to share their thoughts and admiration for the popular bird.

One person said: “Nice meeting sweet frosty today in George Square, brought a smile to a cold evening. Thank you.”

A second person said: “Think this wee duck was out on a walk on Halloween. I loved that, it was the highlight of my night.”

A fourth person said: “My son loved showing Frosty his duck yesterday at the fort.”

A fifth person said: “I am sure it was the same duck in the Lidl Robroyston where I work.”

A sixth person said: “I missed my train because I stopped to pet Frosty but it was so worth it.”
