Clint Gottinger of Rebel Towing in Kelvington, Saskatchewan used his flatbed deck and a soft sling to lift a young moose off lake ice and brought the animal back to his property, where his wife laid out blankets to warm him up until he stood the next morning and walked off, according to Global News. Gottinger said his pending tow customers were understanding when he canceled to handle the rescue; the moose, nicknamed Rebel, has since become a viral story across Canadian media.
Operator takeaway
Take ten minutes this week to find a story your crew did well, write it down, and post it. A wrecker industry that only ever shows up in the news for fatalities, fee fights, and arson is a wrecker industry that struggles to recruit; Gottinger's moose is the kind of share that fixes that.
