Young man with Down syndrome was pulled over after cameras caught a coyote sitting in the back of his car.
On November 21st, a young man was driving when he noticed an animal lying in the middle of a busy road, barely moving and suffering in the heat.
Without hesitation, he stopped in traffic, pulled over, picked the animal up, and carried it into his car. He turned the AC on full blast because he thought he was saving a little dog from heat stroke.
Security cameras nearby captured the whole thing, and once people realized what he had put in his backseat, police were called to make sure he was okay.
When officers arrived, they found him sitting there smiling, proudly telling them he had helped a cute dog that nobody else wanted to save. That’s when the officer gently told him it wasn’t a dog.
It was a coyote.
He was shocked, but he still didn’t regret stopping. Officers helped safely handle the coyote and later released it away from the road.
When they asked him why he did it, his answer hit everyone:
“Everyone was just watching him die. I only wanted to help.”
