READING, Pa. (WPVI) — This is what you call a precarious animal rescue.
Danielle Galvin says she was out walking her dog in Reading, Pennsylvania, over the weekend when she stumbled across this: A man who was trying to rescue a skunk.
The animal was stuck at the bottom of a skating bowl.
So, the man lowered a leash attached to a skateboard for the skunk to grab.
Once he pulled it to safety, the skunk simply trotted away with the leash and the skateboard.
