Man Acts Fast To Help Mysterious Fuzzy Lake Creature

Most people, even when encountering something peculiar, keep their eyes on their phones. But when one Oklahoma man set out on a walk through his normal stomping grounds, an odd figure caught his eye. Rather than keep it movin', his nosiness prevailed, and his observations wound up making a life-saving impact!

Jim Passmore

Jim Passmore of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, started his morning in the usual way. He got dressed, leashed his dogs, and set out into the crisp spring air. Nothing drove sleep from his body like trodding on woodland trails, breathing in the sweet smells of damp earth.

Welcome to Haikey Creek

His usual stomping grounds was Haikey Creek, a park frequented by outdoor lovers admiring the plentiful pecan trees. Runners and hikers legged around the quiet banks of the water. There, while waiting for his yorkies to do their business, Jim spotted something out of the ordinary.

Logging a Log

A strange mass floated on the surface of the park's waters, sitting in stark contrast to the normally smooth surface of the creek. It was big, brown, and vaguely animal-like. Squinting to get a better look, he guessed the object was a log. But he wasn't sure.

It's Alive!!!!

Edging closer to the shore, Jim stepped off the trail onto the muddy grass. If he could just get a closer look, he might be able to satisfy his curiosity. Finally, with a jolt, Jim realized the thing wasn't a thing after all. It was covered in brown hair. It was alive.
