News in the Silly Season Flying Rabbits, Violent Cows and Drowning Hedgehogs

Part 8: Hedgehog Rescue Service

Wouldn't you want to help this cute hedgehog out too?

A patrolman noticed one of the prickly creatures apparently swimming in a pond in the city of Recklinghausen. Or was he drowning? The policeman couldn't tell. The fire service was called and they launched an inflatable dinghy. The hedgehog was rescued and left, wet but otherwise unharmed, in a nearby park.

The next hedgehog incident came only a day later near Düsseldorf. A passer-by noticed a struggling hedgehog trapped in a metal fence. The well-fed creature had been trying to wiggle through the barrier and had become wedged halfway through.

The police, inevitably, were called. They cut a hole in the fence and the hedgehog was able to continue on its merry way.
