Not all heroes wear capes.
The Internet has fallen in love with a man who saved a goose from a snapping turtle while floating on an inflatable unicorn.
Cary Copolla was driving past a pond in Des Moines, Iowa when he noticed a baby goose in distress.
He immediately jumped into action, ran to his brother’s house, changed into his swim trunks and grabbed the first floatation device he could find—a giant rainbow unicorn.
Coppola returned to the pond and swam out to to the goose, which first appeared to be tangled in a net, but Coppola later realized the goose’s leg was trapped in the jaws of a snapping turtle.
Coppola and his brother were able to free the goose, which returned to its waiting family.
Coppola told reporters he has no regrets about the manner in which the fowl was rescued, but his brother said he wishes his brother would have chosen his huge pink flamingo float because it would have been funnier.
