IRASBURG, Vt. -- A Vermont man rescued a baby moose from dogs that had chewed up his hips, but it doesn't look like David Lawrence can protect the moose from state wildlife officials who say the now-grown bull must be killed. Every day Lawrence makes the trip from Albany, Vt., to an Irasburg farm to visit Pete, a male moose whose affection he earned by nursing the bull back to health with a daily supply of food, reported WPTZ-TV in Plattsburgh, N.Y."He expects me to come through the gate every day. This area has become his home because he knows I'm going to come see him," Lawrence said. The 600-acre fenced-in farm on which Pete lives is owned by Doug Nelson, who has created an animal preserve -- and hunting facility -- for imported elk and red deer. Last year, he allowed Lawrence to bring Pete to the farm. Pete was a newborn and had been injured by dogs."He got holes through both sides of his hip," Lawrence said. "How could you refuse to take care of a baby who's gonna die if you don't care for him?"More than a year later, the two are still attached. Pete follows Lawrence around, wolfs down his fruits, bread and other treats brought to him daily. Pete even waits patiently while Lawrence, now 73 years old, takes time to rest."I guess he bonded with me. I only fed him ... I didn't want to get this attached, but it's impossible," Lawrence said.
Where have I heard this before? older guy takes in younger, beat up broad with 2 holes in her. Hello, Pretty Woman. If you're gonna sit there and tell me our boy Lawrence didn't have this vision in his head then I'm not buying it. Actually it kind of sounds like something our boy Michael Jackson would do. Bring it in, fix it up, nurture it, fall in love with it, sleep with it, rape it. The whole 9 yards. And don't even say there wasn't sexual healing involved in getting that moose back up on it's hind legs.
