As I headed out to work this morning I spied a red spotted newt crossing the road a couple hundred feet from the end of our driveway. I pulled over and took the necessary few moments to carry him the rest of the way across the road, rather than leave him to be squashed by other motorists who either don’t even notice tiny critters like that, or don’t bother to swerve if they do.
I’ve pulled over to escort turtles across the road too, and transported mice caught in the house a few miles down the road to release them.
