I prefer cats, but dogs doing this kind of thing are always amazed me:)
This last part, though:/
While this story is such a cute example of animal friendship, it's usually illegal to care for wildlife without a license. Don't get arrested! Read here to find out what to do if you find an animal in need of help.

Where I live, we are lucky to have a few good wildlife rescues in driving distance. But if someone hasn't got that option relatively nearby, I would hope the authorities wouldn't come down hard on the private citizen who helped a little innocent creature.

I also wonder what it takes to become licensed to assist in rescuing wildlife. It might be a good option to pursue, for anyone who tends to spot foundlings in need of assistance.

That's the power of love and giving back.

Nothing more beautiful than an act of compassion. <3
