Baby Moose on the Loose!
A friend sent me this charming story….enjoy~
|
A baby moose was in distress in a creek. A man got him out of the creek, tried to find the mother and send him on his way but, eventually, the moose stumbled back into the creek and was rescued again. The baby moose followed the man home.
The man has only a small cabin so he took the moose to another neighbor who took these photos. They took the moose the next day to a woman who looks after wild animals and she put it in a pen with a rescued fawn.

I was searching for examples and models of Indigenous Leadership when I came across this page from Yes! Magazine that links to several from the magazine.
