Rescue Takes Comical Turn

An already chaotic rescue run turned into a cartoon worthy episode when Naude found himself all alone with two young and very energetic seals - both of them willing to do whatever it takes to get away. As he tries to help one, the other one breaks lose and escapes towards the ocean. Luckily all animals got saved, and we had a good laugh when we realised just how hilarious this rescue turned out.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE BEING RESCUED. PLEASE DO NOT RESIST.

[Geospasmic]

What a juggling act! I can't believe you hung on to both of them after they got out of the nets and reached the water, more than once. You guys are truly something!

It actually brings a tear to my eyes to see not only how hard those little pups fight for survival but also how hard all of you fight to save them...

[prozenthimmel]

The little witches’hats running over the sand really looks hilarious.
Thank you for saving the pups 😍

I am always amazed you can spot the seals that are entangled.

[EllaSilentDragon]

Those two little escape artists should get their own magic show in Vegas! 😂❤

Wow, the determination of the two sea puppies wanting to escape, and Naude’s determination to bring them back, must have been exhausting. Definitely a tougher crowd today than usual, but everyone did a great job saving all of them. Thank you for being their heroes!🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭💕👍🙏🏻

I give you people full credit for not giving up. Of course, the seal pups get an A+ for shear determination on trying to escape. In the end, everyone won, seals escaped but minus an entanglement.
Hope the bite wasn't too bad. Great job, all of you. 🇨🇦

I felt like I watched a rugby match. I truly appreciate your service and compassion.

... and this is how seals help to keep Naude fit. 😂

[MarionFeltham]

Those two escape artists, oh my, they had you puffing! Bless you for all you are doing - total respect.

[keithusace]

I'm not sure who had the most determination

[Lachoupymix]

OMG that rescue is hilarious..😂😂😂❤❤❤ Bunch of little ferocious escape artists... They had you guys running everywhere... Soooo adorable. 😂😍

[gstockwell]

I love how he always calls the little ones...puppy.❤❤❤

[juliesong]

Omgosh Naude you got the two most determined pups ever! Hawain's almost ate the net! What a day. Bless you guys!❤

[johnbraadland]

The sea puppers are making you work hard for it this time.

[anna]

Oh, man, good job Naude. Have to admit I was laughing even as I was worrying that they were going to get away. Again, you did a stellar job of controlling two feisty seals. Bravo!

[TacoSallust]

Juggling pups who are scared and in pain, but you are saving lives! It was quite the show!

[melissawarfield]

Naude, you really fought the seals from getting away from you. I had to chuckle. I cannot believe how close the seals came to leaving your grasp. Awesome job by everyone 👏. That was a very busy morning for all rescuers. Enjoy your day today.

[luciebrisson]

Those two little ones figured out very quickly how to slip out of the net and tested Naude and Hawain's determination. Wow, that was many seals rescued in one run. Thank you OCN !
