The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals.The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary.Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care.

　　The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead.He said ducks generally do not move a lot，especially after being shot.And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator.

　　That was enough to make the duck famous around the world.The Tallahassee newspaper published the story that was re­printed in many different countries.But that was not the end of the story.

　　Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky.And they arranged for the doctor to perform an operation to repair the duck's damaged wing.During the operation，Perky stopped breathing—not just once but twice.The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen through a face mask.But he finally said the duck had died.A few seconds later，however，Perky began to move.Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried.

　　Workers at the wildlife sanctuary say Perky will not have any more operations.It seems she had a bad reaction to the drugs that were used.Perky is expected to live at the sanctuary.And a local company has begun to sell T­shirts showing a picture of the lucky duck.Money from the sale of the shirts will help pay for Perky's care.
