Last May in Detroit, USA, while walking home from school, young Levi noticed a tiny creature lying all alone by the side of the road. Without hesitating for a second, the boy walked over, scooped the little animal up in his arms and brought him home.
Concerned for the little creature, who seemed to be in pain, his family quickly took him to the vet for a full examination. It was there that the vet revealed some astonishing news: the "puppy" Levi had rescued was actually a young coyote.
Nursed back to health with his own kind
Far from being put off by this discovery, the family were delighted they had stepped in. The little animal was suffering from a broken leg and urgently needed treatment. Handed over to the charity Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), the young coyote was named Kojo.
Thanks to the dedicated care of the team, his leg healed beautifully. To prepare him for his return to the wild, the volunteers placed him with two other young coyotes.
Ongoing support and a bright future
Deeply touched by the little animal's story, Levi's family wanted to keep supporting the rescue centre that looked after him. To celebrate the boy's Bar Mitzvah, his family invited their guests to make donations to the shelter.
Now fully recovered, Kojo is preparing to return to the wild alongside his new companions, all thanks to a chance encounter with a very kind-hearted boy.
