MALAGASH: Eight-year-old Saffron Keeble-Morris got a big surprise when she went out with her father to look for her lost cat.
“I saw something moving at the side of the road and couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a big seal,” said the Malagash girl.
The seal, which measured approximately three feet in length, was sliding down the side of the Blue Sea Road hill, heading toward the wharf on Monday, Feb. 9 around 11 a.m.
“I was worried that the seal would get hit by a car and cause an accident, so my Dad called the RCMP in Pugwash,” she said. “They were very helpful, but were not sure what they could do.”
By the time the girl and her father returned to check if the seal was OK, it had slid into a field.
“I’m glad the seal got out of the road and hope it makes it to the water,” said Keeble-Morris. “I left it some frozen salmon in case it gets hungry.”
