Warm-hearted Estonian workers, on Wednesday, rescued a freezing dog-like animal whom they later realized to be a wild wolf.
The three Estonians, named Rando Kartsepp, Robin Sillamäe, and Erki Väli, were at work in Sindi dam when they spotted the poor animal trapped in the icy river nearby.
The man moved the canine to their car, not knowing they were actually carrying a wolf. But thankfully, the animal didn't attack the humans. Rano, one of the workers, said that while they were taking him to the vet, he was sleeping peacefully with his head on the man's lap.
The canine was later claimed to have low blood pressure and some other health problems. That was the reason why he'd seemed to be calm and docile. Possibly, he would become less docile several days later, when he recovered, so the vet decided to keep him in a cage.
It took several days for the lucky canine to become healthy and strong enough to be released back into the wilds. For further health checkups, researchers fitted him with a GPS collar before letting him go.
Thank the kind-hearted workers, the doctor and related organizations that helped save this poor animal and bring him a better life. For more information, please visit here.
