Thanks to humans, animals have a tendency to end up in places where they aren’t supposed to be. There are horror stories of mountain lions in backyards and deer grazing in parking lots, and other seemingly wild events. Whether it’s in houses, a busy city, or more dangerous, a busy highway, animals can get themselves into trouble nearly everywhere. That’s exactly what this cab driver experienced on what started out as an average work day.
Urga Adunga was making his usual rounds in his cab one afternoon in Calgary, Alberta when he saw a family of ducks stuck at a busy intersection. The cab driver pulled over immediately and put on his hazard lights to get out of his car and help. As he was motioning to other drivers to watch out and go around, some stopped to help him direct traffic or move the ducklings and their momma into his cab.
“I jumped out of my cab and I motioned for the oncoming traffic to pull over so I could get the animals to safety.” said Urga in an interview. “Several drivers got out of their cars and signaled everyone to stop. Other drivers used baby carriers to hold the ducklings and put them gently put them into my cab with their mama.”
After the momma duck and her 9 ducklings were safely in Urga’s cab, he drove them to a nearby river where they waddled to the water for safety. The ducks were on their way, and after a little seat cleaning of his cab, so was Urga.
“It was amazing and I was happy to serve them.” Urga said in a statement about his customer service to the animals, according to his employer Checker Yellow Cabs. “As a human it is our responsibility to protect those animals, and nature, and the environment. I could do it again, too. Not only the animals, the humans, too. We have to rescue each other. We have to help each other.”
This certainly isn’t the first story of stranded ducklings getting help from a friendly stranger, and it won’t be the last either, but it’s stories like these that remind us that there is good in the world. With all the bad news circulating, it’s always nice to hear of a story like Urga’s that restores our faith in humanity and reminds us that theres always good people out there.
