Beaver hitches a ride back to its pond with police after blocking a Chick-Fil-A
A Seattle-area beaver got lost at a Chick-Fil-A, but thankfully he had a little help from the police getting back to his lodge.
"He seemed disoriented," officer Amanda Jensen of the Bellevue Police Department told MyNorthwest.
The beaver was in danger of being hit by a car in the heavy traffic surrounding the Chick-Fil-A. Luckily, police officers were able to catch the critter with a dog-catching pole and give him a ride back to a pond.
