Random Act of Kindness
I work for a large company and our building is on a beautiful large campus complete with deer, foxes, large snapping turtles, and last year, even an eagle.
Yesterday I was driving off the campus right in front of my boss. There was a rain-soaked young red fox eating pretzels from a bag that someone must have dropped. It was right in the middle of the road. Poor little thing must have been very hungry. It seemed to have very little road sense, as it waited till a car was practically upon it to abandon the pretzels, and then went right back to it.
As I drove onto the road, I saw my boss back up her enormous Cadillac Escalade and turn around. She told me this morning and told me that she had gone back, gotten out of her car, and threw the pretzels, bag and all over to the side of the road. Little fox just sat there and watched her.
My guess is that she saved the life of that little critter.
