passing through the Points Pile of Matted Wool And Twigs — Then realized It was Al I – Dodo

Những gì tưởng chừng như là một ngày bình thường vào tháng 3/2022 đã nhanh chóng biến thành một nhiệm vụ giải cứu khi một người Samaritan tốt bụng đi bộ qua bụi rậm ở Victoria, Australia, tình cờ gặp một đống len và gậy kỳ lạ. Khi kiểm tra kỹ hơn, người qua đường nhận ra khối lông cừu thuộc về một con cừu thân thiện, người đã ngã quỵ dưới sức nặng của chiếc áo khoác không có sừng và bây giờ không thể đứng vững.

Lo lắng cho đàn cừu, người qua đường nhanh chóng liên lạc với khu bảo tồn trang trại địa phương Edgar’s Mission để được giúp đỡ.

“I’m not sure how long the poor fellow had been lying there,” Edgar’s Mission founder and director Pam Ahern said in a press release. “But I do know that, judging by the length of his fleece, he had not been shorn in many a year, and had he not been found when he was, he would have passed from this world.”

Rescuers hastily moved the sheep, later named Alex, to safety. Then, they began the long process of shearing his massive coat.

Finally free from his wooly prison, Alex stood on his wobbly legs and took a few nervous steps.

Rescuers watched in awe as the little sheep remembered what it was like to be mobile.

“I am not sure who was more relieved when the job was done,” Ahern said in the press release. “However, there was a collective sigh from one and all.”

The gentle sheep soon met members of his new family, a group of fellow rescue sheep, who taught him all he needed to know about his forever home.

“Chloe and Molly Brown, two elderly and wise rescued sheep, greeted Alex as he began his recovery and knew exactly what they had to do,” the rescue wrote in the press release. “They let him know that he really had landed on heaven on earth.”
