Chronicle of a coyote saved

Newhouse Wildlife Rescue recounts how a Somerville police officer and a pair of animal rescuers teamed up to save a coyote with a broken leg in a ditch near the Mystic that ran into the river when they approached:

Thankfully, it was only about two feet deep. The river was cold enough that we were worried about the coyote getting hypothermia. We got him back to the rescue, as soon as possible, and warmed him up. Jonny was also drenched but he didn’t complain.
