Well, it was certainly no ordinary day for me! After an emotional visit to the ICU unit to visit my brother and a spontaneous drop in car repair ( which most likely saved my life), I decided to take my little Chihuahua on a walk to unwind. We took a rocky path that I don’t usually go down due to a knee injury, but I was being led and I instinctively followed. At the end of the path my little companion decided its time to go on the beach and there he was, this extremely cute, baby harbour seal, struggling on the rocky shore. He looked up at us with ‘help me’ in his eyes. He hissed when I first approached and when I stood back, I could see how young and weak he was. A group of friends where I live helped me contact Marine Mammal Rescue. I made a quick trip home to get my phone so I could send pictures of him to the rescue and impressively within minutes a lovely lady showed up. I learned a lot about harbour seals from her that day and I also felt good in my heart that I did something very worthwhile!
Trigger , it was meant to be that I find you and I wish you a full recovery and a successful release into the world where you were born.
