Of course, this includes critters that could really use our help.

This mindset is what allowed fisherman and photographerMike Loughranto spot an injured owl on the side of the road.

Loughran shared avideoof the incident on social media.

In the clip, he notices the bird and, after realizing it is alive, springs into action.

This owl had to have been on that fence for at least 6-10 hours.

This was mid-day, and it probably flew into the fence overnight.

Lots of people must have driven by without seeing it or thinking it was already dead.

I always check, and this is a perfect example of why.
