Hey! (Quack) Over here! (Quack)
WebPosted Fri Jul 13 19:10:21 2001
VANCOUVER - A mother duck is a hero in Vancouver because she chased after a police officer, grabbed his pantleg and directed him to her ducklings caught in a sewer grating.

At first the police officer, Roy Peterson, shoved the duck away. But the duck grabbed his pantleg again, then walked to the sewer grating and sat on it.

"I thought it was a bit goofy, so I shoved it away," Peterson told The Vancouver Sun. Curious, Peterson walked to the grating where he discovered eight ducklings trapped in the water under the grating.

He called a tow truck and a crew managed to bring the ducklings to safety.

Mother duck then marched her ducklings to a nearby pond.

That happened to my friends and I when we were in High School.

The mama was acting like a maniac, quacking her head off then quacking down the sewer grate. So we decided to see what was up. We went over and there were the babies down in the grate.

Luckily, it was a rather shallow grate and we were able to reach down and get them.

People just don't give animals enough credit. They CAN talk to us, if they choose to (and if we decide to listen).

Wow, I haven't thought of that in years.

Oh they surely can talk to us... our three cats can, and DO, frequently! If you listen with your heart, you will know exactly what they are saying, because animals come from a place of love and that is why you have to listen with your heart, where love resides!

That is so beautiful thank you!

This is so wonderful. If non-animal lovers would only realize how intelligent animals really are.
