Using a combination of his experience and resourcefulness, John improvised a makeshift rescue plan. He used nearby branches and logs to create a platform and carefully maneuvered it under the moose. With immense effort and determination, he managed to support their massive bodies and alleviate the pressure on their legs.
As the minutes turned into hours, John’s heart raced, but his resolve never wavered. He called for help and other kind-hearted souls joined in the rescue effort, bringing ropes and additional logs to strengthen the platform.
