A Mother’s Day rescue 🐥💛

A mama duck in Zion is back with all her ducklings — thanks to a quick-thinking patient.

Don, a patient at City of Hope Cancer Center, noticed the duck in distress near a sewer grate. Nine of her ducklings had fallen in.

With help from a security guard, they used a gardening tool to lift each duckling out safely.
