GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A 12-year-old western Michigan boy with autism likely will be able to keep his ducks, which are used as emotional support animals.
Georgetown Township officials had issued a nuisance order to Mark and Jennifer Dyke after receiving multiple complaints from neighbors. The Dykes requested an ordinance variance to allow their son, Dylan, to keep the ducks.
The township's zoning appeals board is open to finding a way to let the ducks remain, but details must be worked out.
