Cute Fix: Otter Mail Carrier

Feb 9 2009 | Comment 1

Thanks to Erin for sending this along so we can start the day right. From the BBC comes a report of a mailman who found an abandoned otter pup:

Mr Wilson said the otter had come from the nearby Gala Water and “looked terrified from the noise of the cars and would soon have been hit”.

“I popped her into the mailbag I had in the car and carried on up the A7 and just kept hearing little squeaks and sucking noises to imply she was hungry,” he said.

“I stopped at Tesco at Dalkeith and bought some kitten milk and fed it through the tube of a ballpoint pen.

“She seemed happy enough and during our journey she kept crawling up my neck looking for more warmth.”

Jesus Christ. Am I made of steel? Sucking noises? Warmth-searching? I want to die for this little otter, I really do. As they’d say on Cute Overload, I’ve just died from the Qute.
