• A coyote that found itself in an ironic predicament and has the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) and the Wildlife in Need Center (WINC) of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, to thank for its rescue -- maybe with a little help from above?
WDJT in Milwaukee reported that the coyote had gotten its head stuck inside a hollow statue of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, while chasing a rabbit.
The coyote was spotted dragging the statue and working to free itself, but by the next day, the animal was exhausted and still trapped.
HAWS located the coyote and transported it to WINC, where it was freed, treated for minor injuries and given the nickname "Frannie."
