A poor owl was found last week stuck in the net of a soccer goal at Trottier Middle School in Southboro, Massachusetts.
Keith Nichols and Jake Woodford, the officers who arrived at the scene, immediately cut the bird out of the net. Before doing so, however, the officers took a photo of the absolutely shocked owl.
After getting disentangled, the owl was able to fly away rather quickly. It was unharmed, thankfully.
The Southboro Police Department told the story in a Facebook post in a funny way, saying that the officers "scored a nice save."
A nice save it is, indeed.
