Seal pup escapes rough seas, heads for car dashboard

1/28/2013

Guess choppy seas are no fun for seal pups, either. Sick and tired of the stormy outdoors, this fuzzy guy, aka Smartie, sought refuge in a Scottish seaside parking lot, fighting his way up a man-made bank to the busy lot during a particularly bad weather spell. After spotting the rogue critter, a seal-friendly parking attendant wrangled him into the trunk of his car for safekeeping until animal rescuers could arrive. But Smartie outsmarted him, pushing down a rear seat to wriggle onto the warm, cozy dashboard where he had a front-row seat for storm viewing. Now resting up at a rescue center, Smartie will be returned to the ocean soon. [Source]
