The rescue of the year involves a mother duck and her babies.
Now, this is one lucky duck — a Mama waterfowl unwittingly taught her brood the perils of a storm drain… only to be reunited after a human stepped in to help. This seems to have gone down somewhere in Eastern Europe — possibly Russia — where someone was filming a mother duck walking around an unoccupied road with several of her ducklings in tow, only to have one slip through the cracks of a drain they waddled past.
