UPI – An off-duty park manager in Pennsylvania, United States came to the rescue of a bear she spotted at the side of a road with a plastic jug stuck over its head.
Park manager at Kettle Creek at Ole Bull State Park in Potter County Sarah Lindgren, said she was on her way to pick up a friend’s dog after work when she spotted the bear cub at the side of the road with its head stuck inside the container.
Lindgren filmed video as she got out of her car to help the young bruin.
“I don’t even know why I turned on the video at that moment, I just knew it wasn’t in the ideal spot and I thought it was either going to drown or get hit by a car,” Lindgren told WBRE/WYOU.
Lindgren was able to remove the plastic jug after about 10 seconds of effort.
“I highly doubt that it would have survived another day without intervention. It was very weak and dehydrated,” Lindgren told CNN of the cub.
