Double Trouble

Rescuing animals is a family trait starting back with my father. When I was much younger, he canoed to the center of a lowered, drought-ridden lake to rescue some deer looking for fresh water. By tying a rope to a tree, he was able to save three deer stuck in the mud as he one by one pulled them into the canoe and then shimmied himself back to the shoreline. As a park ranger, he did everything for the land and the critters who lived there.

Today, my brother is a conservation officer. Today, he too, seeks out to rescue and preserve land and mammal. These are his two rescues. The one on the left has been his little lady for years, and the gal on the right is more inherited than inherently rescued. Just the same, not pictured is 3 horses and a house full of cats.
