Lost beaver gets a police escort

OREGON CITY, Ore. - A beaver that seemed to have lost its way got a police escort late Thursday night.
Around 11:30 p.m., the Oregon City Police Department got a call that a beaver was walking across Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard at 14th Street, away from the Willamette River.
The beaver had somehow made it through traffic but seemed a bit disoriented and kept walking toward headlights.
When officers showed up, they tried to use a pole with a noose to catch the beaver, but they quickly figured out that the animal was pretty mellow and had no problem walking with them.
The beaver and officers took a leisurely 40-minute stroll to Abernethy Creek before parting ways.
So, mebbe he was looking for his Canadian Cousin, eh? They can have some beers, eh?

Welcome To Canada. Have a nice day!
Allllllright, police involved and no shots fired.
Where's Wally, Lumpy and Eddie?
My ex-wife had a wandering beaver.
Same thing happened earlier in the year here in Mukilteo, This is a pitcure of Mukilteo PD escorting the beaver across the street. He kept trying to get through the Paine Field fence and we spent almos an hour to get him to go 1/2 mile down the road and back across since there was a concrete barrier... I was lucky enough to be in the area and be able to take a bunch of picture. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/aaron_soccer20/DSC_0689_zps2da7c2d9.jpg
At least they didn't shoot the beaver first like cops in the news have been doing lately!
Was it Dag or Norbert? Clearly was looking for his friend Stump.
@Howard Beale I'm one of the few people hear that know what you're talking about and I have to say I LOLed! Also, I miss 90's Nicktoons.
This was pretty cute... glad no one hit the poor thing | I cringe if my car ever strikes any animal and definitely get mad when I see folks who honestly look like they are trying to hit something on purpose....
Wow 40 minutes?? That's some dedication from the officers! I think I'd lose my marbles walking that slow for so long! Good thing this little guy made it too since he kept wanting to walk toward headlights.
Obviously this beaver hasn't met his cousin from Canada. He's prominently shown in Molson commercials.Â

Awwww that was cute and sweet!
@Mindirella I know! It's so cute that the beaver strolled along with them the entire time. I would of loved to see this in person.
Cool story to start the weekend with. Nothing died, no one freaked out over something silly, and a furry woodland creature found his way home. Thanks KOMO.
And it was in Oregon. LOL!
Humm... Nah, going to leave this one alone....
Lost beaver? Â ... Sorry, my juvenile mind at work today.... Â
A lost friendly beaver. LOL Glad he is O.K. :>)
Awesome, I love this.Â
Aw, poor guy. Â Glad someone helped him. Â Maybe he was on his way to Corvallis?
Looks like Ward and June told the Beav to catch a movie again.....
