Listen in intently as this heartwarming, locally inspired narrative will
make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
According to a Facebook post on the Massachusetts State Police Facebook
page, State Police Trooper Timothy Martin of Northampton Barracks,
Massachusetts, was finished with his day shift and was about to travel home
on I-91 South in Holyoke.
However, the trip wasn't peaceful or easy because he was abruptly drawn to
a large traffic bottleneck. The Ttooper looked into what was happening as a
result of this.
He was shocked to see that a small newborn deer, just a week or so old, was
abandoned and stuck in the middle of the road, as the Facebook post
mentioned. A number of worried drivers had collected to attempt to tame the
terrified animal.
Like all superheroes, Trooper Martin realized that something had to be done
about the problem and he acted quickly. The state police said that he
quickly made his way to the head of the traffic.
But keep in mind that this is I-91, and the risk posed by the fast-moving
cars may have been a significant issue.
As an aside, Trooper Martin has remarkable athleticism. According to the
Facebook post, he was formerly the dodgeball team captain and adored Tyquan
Thornton, the wide receiver for the New England Patriots.
Thus, he took on the physical attributes of his favorite athlete and
created a barrier of protection to keep the fawn from running into oncoming
traffic.
According to the cops, he moved quickly and was successful in grabbing tiny
Bambi.
The young child has been taken into custody and returned to his mother
securely. It appears that the mother had jumped over a high fence near the
highway.
This is really touching and serves as a reminder that we all work together
to protect the nature in New England when an animal has to be rescued!
This animal rescue ought to be documented!
