The day’s routine fishing It has been quiet for three friends off the eastern coast of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada bathed by the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Until something strange caught their eye, when they carefully looked at the topmost part of a drifting icebergs.
Once we head towards the huge block of ice, Cliff Russell, alan russell AND Mallory Harrigan verified that this blurry image was a copy of Arctic foxwho looked hungry, drenched and terrified of the menacing presence of the seagulls.
“He probably got trapped there foraging for food. Cliff would have seen a piece of meat in the ice, which broke off and slid into the sea,” Harrigan explained. As a first measure, the fishermen set out to save the animal’s life.
The news dates back to two years ago, but now it’s back viral.

The sailors set up their boat next to the iceberg and managed to get the small mammal of the canid family aboard. “At first it was very difficult to pull him up because he was trying to run away from us. We had to break the ice and net him,” they explained, referring to using a fishing net supported by a frame and a long handle, like a shovel. .
Already on the ship “The Northern Swan” the weak state of the fox was clearly noticeable, which remained curled up in a corner and slept for almost the entire journey. About six hours after refusing the offered cookies and chips, she ate hot dogs.
Back on land, the fox was released into its natural habitat. These days, the three crabs often see him prowling the area of the former dog shelters in William’s Bay.

“We were near the ice preparing the bait, when we saw a lost arctic fox, more than 4 miles from the mainland. Let’s hope he recovers and saves it!” was the first message Alan Russell posted on his Facebook account.
The news of the unexpected discovery had a large and immediate impact on social networks. Among other lyrics, Rod Fujii wrote, “Thank goodness for these kind people, especially in these times when life, human or animal, seems to matter less and less.”
