Good morning! I was out on a run this morning and I decided to take different route than usual. I came across a mom duck and 6 little fluffy babies crossing the street. The mom stopped in the middle of the road and I didn't understand why until I heard little chirps coming from the sewer. I looked in and one baby had fallen in. This immediately broke my heart! Mom ended up coming back over to the grass where I was.
At this point a man came from his front yard to see what was wrong. We both knew that the only way to open the sewer top was with a crowbar. He went in his garage to get one and another precious older couple was walking by so I told them about what was happening and we all decided we weren't going anywhere until this duck was saved! It was then when I saw a man from a landscaping company and I ran over to see if he could help too! He came over and at this point we had a crow bar. The landscaper (Stan) then pried open the top! The baby was frightened and kept going back into the sewer tunnel. Stan proceeded to lay on his stomach over the sewer as the couple and I held down his legs. After a few attempts, baby duck came up and Stan scooped him up onto the street!! The woman grabbed baby and ran her over to her mom and 6 other siblings. The family then waddled away and I was tearing up uncontrollably! Faith in Humanity restored!
I want to thank the gentleman with the crowbar, the lovely couple out on their walk and Stan from The Groundskeeper landscape company! You've all been spotted!! & lt;3 & lt;3 & lt;3
