One bitter cold day outside my apartment in Queens, New York, I found a hurt bird on the ground. Given the deliriously bad weather, I knew this bird would not survive for another half-hour, but to tell you the truth, I’m not the kind of person who picks up strange animals. Would I leave it to die, or overcome my fear and rescue it? What transpired was something I never could have imagined.
This story happened many years ago, but I was inspired to retell it now because the great TV personality Mike Rowe just posted a similar dilemma today on his Instagram and asked what we would have done in his place.
Here’s for you, Mike Rowe!
