Police officers are faced with one of the most varied job roles, and as a member of the police force you just never know what your day is going to hold. As a police officer, you could be monitoring traffic one minute and on your way to the scene of an armed robbery the next.
But the police also take on other roles that you wouldn’t think of. This was the case for some officers in New Hampshire when they received a call about an injured owl that needed assistance in Concord.
When they shared a few snaps of the rescue onto their Facebook page, they weren’t expecting to have such a reaction as people couldn’t stop laughing at the picture of the owl taking a ride in the back of a police car!
When The New Hampshire Police Department received a call about an owl that needed rescuing, they immediately rushed to the scene and shared some adorable snaps of the moment on their Facebook page. Although not much about what situation the owl was in is mentioned, the NHPD told us that the owl appeared to have a concussion, but thankfully, he had no broken bones.
After making sure he was safe in the back of the police car, officers then took the bird to the Wings of Daw rehabilitation center. The officer in the passenger seat couldn’t resist taking a quick snap of their adorable addition.
The police department shared the pictures onto their Facebook page, and the post now has over 950 reactions and 100 shares, as people have a chuckle over the chilled-out owl in the back of the police car.
The department captured their pictures:
“This morning, #Trooper Laroche of #NHSP rescued an 🦉 on Route 28, providing him with a ride to CAVES in Concord. Wings of Dawn Rehab named this guy “Lucky” and said he has no broken bones and is recovering from what appears to be a concussion. He will be released in the near future! 👏”
People were quick to comment on the picture of the owl in the backseat and pointed out just how funny the little guy looked. One user said:
“This picture cracks me up he is just chilling in the back like Thank You.”
Another commented:
“Great job. Did he refuse to say “whoo” he was? Was he in cuffs?”
Someone else joked:
“The owl didn’t require cuffs while in the back….it was determined he wasn’t a flight risk…..(.Da dum Tssh goes the bad joke drum )..lol”
Many people also praised the officers for taking their time to rescue the owl, with one person commenting, “Awesome Trooper. Thank you for being concerned for our wildlife.”
In response to all of the comments, officers shared a video of the owl saying, “Lucky before his ride!” The short, 30-second video showed the concussed owl looking a little bit dazed as officers approached him.
We’re so thankful to have these awesome officers looking out for our wildlife, and we hope that Lucky the owl goes onto make a speedy recovery!
