Operation Snail Escort

A tiny, shiny trail along the rough patio brick caught my eye! Following the silvery zigzag, I found a tiny garden snail inching straight toward the sunny, dry pavement where it could get stepped on. No pup leaves a traveler in distress! I dashed right in, bracing my paws against a wide, damp fallen sycamore leaf. With a determined shove of my front legs, I slid the leaf like a rescue ramp right into the snail's path. It crawled onto the moist stem, safely redirected toward the shaded fern planter!
