Sergeant Schafer of the Sarasota Police Department, Florida certainly knows how to make the world a safer place for humans and animals alike. When he woke up at the “quack" of dawn on Tuesday, he had no idea that he would be playing mother goose to a flock of ducks in need. These feathered friends were in a bit of a predicament - they needed to get to the pond at Payne Park but wanted some help to get there. Lucky for them, Sergeant Schafer was on the case. In a Facebook post shared by Sarasota Police Department, it was seen he was able to provide a safe escort for the ducks, making sure that they made it to their destination without any incidents.
With Sergeant Schafer’s help, these ducks were able to make it to the pond without so much as a feather ruffled. The post read, “There’s no such thing as a typical day as a Sarasota Police officer! When Sergeant Schafer woke up at the quack of dawn on Tuesday, we don’t think he planned to give a flock of ducks a police escort to the pond at Payne Park. It’s okay, he was able to wing it! Next time, he will have to put it on their bill.”
Of course, no good deed goes unrewarded. Sergeant Schafer garnered a lot of positive reactions for his heroic actions from the internet. After all, it’s not every day that you see a police officer escorting a flock of ducks to safety. Many thanked the reliable police officer for not just taking the feather friends to safety but for putting a smile on their faces. “It’s the making sure he had the proof for me with turning his body cam on,” wrote a user.
Another comment read, “Yay! That is adorable! So sweet. Very cute post too. What a great save. Thank you Sergeant Schafer at Sarasota Police Department for taking care of them.”
“Absolutely love this! It quacked me up,” commented a user.
This is not the only duck video out there making people smile.
