ENFIELD, Conn. — Enfield Police responded to help the victim of an apparent car crash Saturday night, but the victim, a local owl, did not need medical attention.
The department posted on Facebook:
Hoot off the press! Last night on patrol Officers were sent to a fowl situation, an owl had been struck by a car. K9 Officer Bartolucci with the assistance of Officer Pinsker was able to pet this little guy and get him back on his feet. He gave a couple thank you hoots and flew off!! We’ll take a feel good story to start 2021 right.
No word on exactly where the rescue took place, or what Officer Bartolucci's K9 partner thought about letting the avian patient fly free.
