While passing by a neighbor’s property, Joanna noticed a skunk stuck “head-first” down a pipe, with only its tail sticking out. Determined to help the poor creature, she called for assistance.
Joanna, an executive producer at The Dodo and someone familiar with animal rescues, found herself unsure of what to do in this unusual situation. She initially reached out to a few wildlife rescue organizations but was advised to leave the skunk alone. However, knowing the skunk had been stuck for hours, Joanna decided to seek advice from her dad, Jared.
Watch the rescue here.
It’s heartwarming how her dad supported her during the rescue, even jokingly warning about how unfortunate it would be if she got sprayed just before her cousin’s wedding.
Viewers were happy to see Joanna and Jared go out to rescue the skunk and support one another. One viewer commented, “What an amazingly sweet and supportive Dad! The sheer joy he showed when she rescued him was just so precious!! Thank you for risking the stench to save him.”
Another noted, “That’s the most supportive dad I’ve ever heard of. How sweet. Thank you for rescuing that cutie.” Someone else said, “Gotta love that dad did not even hesitate to go into spray range until she tells him he doesn’t need to get sprayed as well.”
