Description

Saw this poor little guy walking home today. He was scared exhausted, clinging to the wall after being prodded with a stick by a guy. After myself and a couple guys managed to fend him off, Calgary Transit Peace Officers came to help (See pics). The police, fire and animal control were reluctant, as they would likely have to be put into the position of euthanizing it. But, this good officer gave it a bit of a ramp to help it down and said he would remain and ensure no one else approached it!
