A tow truck driver in Saskatchewan, Canada, is going viral after turning an ordinary service call into a rescue for a stranded moose.
Clint Gottinger, owner of Rebel Towing, said he spotted the animal stuck in the ice near a junction not far from his house and knew the wait for his customers would have to continue.
"I thought, 'everyone is gonna have to wait. I have to help this guy. I can't stand to see him suffer. We gotta get him out,'" Gottinger told AccuWeather National Reporter Ali Reid.

The exhausted moose, later named Rebel, was trapped in a frozen waterway. Using his flatbed truck, a sling and help from neighbors, the driver worked to pull the animal free.
