This has to be the best rescue story we've seen in a while.
"While sailing across the Somerset Reservoir with his son, a heroic father spotted something swimming in the distance. As they moved in closer, he realized it was a young squirrel who must have gotten swept into the waters, and was struggling to swim across. Rather than passing him by like many other people would, this man did something amazing – he jumped into the water, rescued the tiny creature and swam all the back to the boat with the squirrel in his hand! He brought the animal to safety and watched him wander back onto the rocks.
By the time the squirrel had made it back to shore, he was exhausted from his unexpected journey. Had it not been for these two heroes, the squirrel could have been lost at sea. NO animal is too small for a second chance at life!"
