A Cute Rescue

This little guy was in the middle of a riverwalk, confused and heading away from the river when Jim luckily spotted him.

He was super tiny. Born recently! He would have been stepped on or ridden over by a bicycle if he was not saved. Being muddy on a walkway with dried autumn leaves around, there was some serious camouflage going on.

Jim put him at the river’s edge so he would not be shocked by the water. He used a leaf to pick him up so that no human oils touched him.

We watched him acclimate to the water and swim off. I wish I filmed him using his little feet to clean his muddy face of. Adorable!

Here is a clip the the cutie swimming away.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
