While driving through Kettle Creek State Park in Pennsylvania, Sarah Lindgren noticed something on the side of the road that made her stop her car.
She came across a harrowing scene – a small animal’s head trapped in a plastic container. Without hesitation, she made a sincere decision to intervene and save the helpless creature.
Her quick thinking and kindness made a difference in the struggling little one’s life. If she hadn’t done that, the terrified animal wouldn’t have survived.

Sarah Lindgren was actually a park ranger at Kettle Creek State Park and was on her way to the town of Crossfork, Pennsylvania, when she noticed something on the side of the road. Animals trapped in plastic containers on the sides of the road
“I noticed what looked like a bear with something on its head laying motionless on the side of the road. Obviously I went over and did a scan and I just knew my mom wasn’t around,” Lindeger said. Lena said in an interview with CBS News.
She cautiously approached the small animal and discovered that it was indeed a small bear with its head stuck in a plastic container.
Poor animal! He must have feared for his life. He was alone on the side of the road waiting for someone to help him.
“When I walked towards the child, it raised its head. So I went into top secret mode to get to him,” Lindgren told The Dodo.
Lindgren then grabbed the container and held it until I pulled it out. The poor young man was then stunned and disoriented and just stood there staring at the woman.
“I kind of hovered around so he wouldn’t run into the road or fall over,” Lindgren said. She also started encouraging him and assuring him that everything was fine now.
“The car came and he climbed a tree in terror and sat there and rested for several hours,” she added. the famous bear
Lindgren posted a video of her rescuing the bear cub from a plastic container on her social media, and it quickly went viral.
Thousands of people saw it and everyone wanted to know what happened to the little bear, so Sarah posted an update. She notified the Pennsylvania Game Commission about the baby’s condition, and they discovered the baby was old enough to survive on its own.

“The famous bear is recovering in a tree. The mother did not survive the ordeal, but the babies are old enough to fend for themselves. It’s definitely not an ideal situation, but today is better than Sunday,” Sarah said in her Facebook post. Lindgren said Pennsylvania’s bear population, especially where bears are found, is very healthy, so the bears should be able to survive on their own.
“The main message here is to be smart, you know how to protect your waste and protect your food. This is an important part of handling bears wisely. It’s just “Oh, I have to do it, so I’m going to do it.” I did what I legally could, and I’m glad I was able to help,” said Lindgren.

It’s safe to say that everyone in town fell in love with the little bear and brave Sarah, who did something that few would do. Sarah helped many animals during her life and should be a role model for us all.
