Sometimes we all need a good story with a happy ending and here is one that will bring a smile to your face.
A mama duck with her 9 babies was doing some sightseeing near a very busy highway entrance when her babies fell through a grate. Someone alerted Caltrans and CHP about the emergency and they rushed over to rescue the baby ducks. They lifted the metal bars and climbed down into the smelly hole. One officer was armed only with a cardboard box, and he could not catch them all. Therefore, another officer joined him and came up with only one duckling while his partner came up with 8. Then the 9 babies were reunited with their mom and off on their way. Hopefully they learned their lesson to follow their mama bird and not go exploring in places they don’t know.
When it comes to the officers, I am sure it was a much welcomed break from their daily routine. You know, to chase the chirp and not perp. One they can’t wait to share with their friends and family when they get home. Hopefully none of their loved ones were serving them Duck a l’Orange. Things could get awkward if they did.
