A Canadian adventurer discovered a drowning coyote pup, resuscitated it and then nursed it back to health while completing his river rafting journey.
Known only by his first name, Justin, the man was taking a lengthy solo trip down the Red Deer and South Saskatchewan Rivers when he came across the pup in distress.
“The little pup would eat with Justin, cuddle in his jacket, and sleep in his backpack while they rafted down the river. Justin ended up naming the little guy YipYip and took really good care of him throughout the trip,” read part of a post on the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan Facebook page.
Finally, their journey together ended when Justin got back to civilization and contacted the Swift Current SPCA, who referred the pup to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewa.
They were happy to take little YipYip in and placed it with two other orphaned coyote pups. As soon as they’re ready the coyotes will be released back into the wild.
