A Man Thought He Saw A Distressed Beaver In The Mud, But After A Closer Look Realized His Mistake

It’s very easy to have a soft spot for animals. They are genuinely pure and very easy to root for when things aren’t going their way. This story has a little bit of everything.

You’re going to need to prepare yourself for an adventure that will take you down every emotional path. It’s sad, yet inspiring. It’s happy, yet disheartening. If you’re wondering how that’s even possible, you’re about to find out.

It’s a story about a man’s genuine love for animals and the lengths he’s willing to go to show it.

A Day That Started With Routine

It was a day that would change Jim Passmore’s life forever. It was a day that he’ll never forget. It was a day that started like any other. He’s a native of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and loves to take walks.

It was a crisp March morning, and he did what he always did — bring his dogs with him for a casual stroll through the forest. But, it wasn’t going to be like any other stroll.

Jim Passmore

Jim loves nature, and he’s lucky enough to have a lot of it in Broken Arrow. He’s always been someone who can truly enjoy nature and all it has to offer.

Rolling hills, crystal blue lakes, and some of the most beautiful vistas were everyday sights for these folks. There are very few things he loves more than wildlife and scenic walks, but his dogs are definitely on that list.

He loves dogs more than anything.

Out For A Walk

The trio — Jim and his two dogs — would frequent the same walking path regularly. However, Jim noticed something odd in the creek one day when he was taking a stroll.

He got closer, but it was incredibly hard to see exactly what they were looking at. It looked like a log floating out in the water. But as he took a better look at it, he could see some hair.

Some Animal Had Been Trapped

It looked like some type of animal had been trapped in the mud. Jim wasn’t sure, so he got a little bit closer and he could see something struggling. It looked weak, but whatever it was had been stuck in the mud near the creek’s bank.

Jim usually walks around the creek for a half-hour a day, but on this day he was going to be there a lot longer than that.
