A Good Samaritan had found the squirrel on the ground outside of their house and rushed them in to see if they could help. 

 As luck would have it, Polly, a veterinary technician at the clinic, is a squirrel rehabber with 10 years experience. She took the tiny animal into her care and did a sweet “newborn baby photoshoot” of her rescue as she nursed him back to health. 

 Polly shared the cute photos with Reshareworthy.com and also explains how he ended up with the name “Cardboard”.

But Cardboard wasn’t “out of the woods” yet. “Unfortunately, his breathing seemed labored and the veterinarian was concerned about pneumonia,” Polly shared with Reshareworthy “We did radiographs and Cardboard was given antibiotics.” she said. Polly added, “After lots of care and attention (and late nights), he seems to have made a full recovery and is growing every day!” Cardboard also looks adorable in his rose headband. Cardboard got his unusual name after it was chosen by the veterinarian who saved his life. 

“Our receptionist mentioned ‘nothing good comes in a cardboard box’ (anyone who works in an animal clinic can understand) and the name just made sense,” Polly explained. Cardboard continues to be on the mend and when he’s healthy and old enough he will be released back into the wild. 

 In the meantime, here are a few more cute pictures of Cardboard being cared for by Polly. Share Cardboard’s rescue story with your family and friends. 

However, one osprey became entangled and was drowning in the ocean. Surfers, Jimmy and Caitlyn Tomazinis, arrived at a beach in Florida ready to catch some waves, but spotted “a little black dot” and jumped in the water to investigate. SCREEN SHOT: FACEBOOK/THE DODO
Jimmy swam in the ocean and realized it was an osprey that was struggling to stay above water. The tide was pulling the frantic bird out into the ocean, so the couple needed to act quickly. 

Jimmy ran back to the truck and yelled, “I need your surfboard!” He grabbed the surfboard and a towel and dove back into the ocean. 

The exhausted osprey was relieved when it realized it could grab onto the surfboard with its talons. However, the bird was knocked off and back into the water by a passing wave. Jimmy decided to scoop the bird up using the nose of the board and “surf him up onto the beach”. 

Once they were out of the water and back on the beach, Jimmy instantly saw what the problem was. Fishing line was wrapped around the osprey and they needed a knife to free the bird. Caitlyn approached a fisherman and borrowed a knife that they used to cut the fishing line. A towel was placed over the bird to help keep it calm as the couple cut off all the fishing line. 

Two bystanders approached to help and make sure that all the line was removed from its feathers and feet. “It was just yards and yards and yards of this line,” said Caitlyn. Once all the line was removed, the exhausted bird rested for 20 minutes on the edge of the surfboard before spreading its wings and flying off. It was all about being at the right place at the right time. The couple said, “If we had pulled up 5 minutes later, we would have never seen him.” 

Thanks to their quick actions, the beautiful osprey was saved. The rescue be something they will never forget and Caitlyn even has claw marks on her board to remember the osprey. 

 Every year, up to 320 thousand birds are killed in fishing line or nets, proving how dangerous they are when dumped in the ocean.

So they decided to fill the barrel up and left two cameras to record the cause of the mystery. What they discovered made them uneasy, but is nothing short of adorable. 

 Oh, here comes a bear to check things out. It must be curious about where all of the water has been going too. What?! That bear’s been drinking it all? Wait the bear hasn’t been drinking the water. He’s been bathing in it! It’s not often that you’re excited to see a bear in the direct vicinity of humans, but this one sure makes it easy!
