Lucky duckling takes step in the right direction

A DUCK who faced being put down after fracturing a leg has been given a new lease of life thanks to a specially made sandal.

Lucky the duckling faced a bleak future following an accident which left one foot pointing in the wrong direction when it healed.

Undeterred, owner Allison Morgan from the Lliswerry area of Newport, south Wales, decided to get a second opinion and, in the meantime, enlist the services of a local cobbler, Kelvin Reddicliffe, to aid the bird’s recovery.
