Driving home from the ER around midnight, I saw a critter in the center lane of the road. I was so close to hitting him that I couldn't help but have to stop and move whatever it was out of the way.

As I approached him by foot, I could see that he was sitting up, mouth dangling open with blood dripping from his jaw. As I got closer all the while stopping traffic, the little guy slowly turned his head and looked at me as if saying I don't know what to do here. So I snatched him up quickly and loaded him into the passenger seat destined for my soon to be garage possum Emergency Room.

The rest of the story is told in this short documentary about getting Freddy the right medical help needed. I shot this quick and dirty, using my Canon 60D. The filming was shot by me of myself as I was doing what I was doing. (If that sorta makes sense) So keep that in mind when it looks like bad outtake footage from the TV show Cops.

I want to thank the volunteers and financial contributors to Northwest Wildlife Center for their commitment to protecting our fellow life on Earth. Please see their website for details on how to donate.northwestwildlife.org/
