They found the mother lying on the road in an upscale neighborhood in Los Angeles. Eldad Hagar, founder of Hope For Paws animal rescue, showed up at the scene to offer what assistance they could. It looked as though they might already be too late.
Upon pulling over in their vehicle, Hagar and fellow volunteer Loretta Frankonyte got out and walked over. It was a family of possums; there were several tiny tails and feet protruding from under the mom’s abdomen. She was deathly still.
