Nova Scotia man, dog die days after unusual eagle rescue
24 Oct 2018, https://www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/news, Andrew Rankin
In the small rural town of Belliveau Cove, nestled between rolling hills and dense forests of Nova Scotia, Canada, a compassionate man named Gerald LeBlanc lived with his loyal dog, a nine year old boxer named Rusty. Gerald was known for his love of nature and animals, and Rusty was his constant companion.
One sunny Tuesday afternoon, David and Rusty were enjoying a quiet coffee and smoke break on the front porch when, out of no where, a bald eagle dropped out of the sky like a lead weight, landing only a few feet away in the back of Gerald's truck.
“It was a bald eagle and I heard the thump and I just couldn’t believe it,” recalled LeBlanc. “Me and Rusty were in shock. Here’s this bald eagle crashing down in front of us. He tried to fly off the truck and just fell off onto the ground.”
The eagle, normally a symbol of strength and freedom, appeared feeble and in need of help. Without hesitation, Gerald and Rusty carefully approached the distressed bird, assessing its condition. Rusty, sensing his owner's concern, gently pinned the creature to the ground while Gerald fetched a large Rubbermaid tub to secure the eagle in a safe and comfortable position. Gerald then called authorities who responded in double time. The juvenile eagle was being looked after at Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Hilden but the creature was so malnourished; the odds of his survival was about 50-50 and didn't survive in the end.
The small town that had witnessed the heartwarming rescue of the sick eagle was now enveloped in an unexpected somber atmosphere. Gerald and his loyal companion Rusty, who had played a crucial role in the rescue of the majestic bird, were facing an unforeseen tragedy.
The very next day after the eagle rescue, Rusty, the faithful dog, succumbed to a sudden and severe heart condition. The town, which had celebrated the duo's heroic act just hours before, now mourned the loss of the beloved canine companion. Rusty had been more than just a pet; he was a constant source of joy, loyalty, and support for Gerald.
Devastated by the sudden loss of his companion, Gerald was left to his grief. The once vibrant man, known for his love of nature and animals, was now navigating the emptiness left by Rusty's departure. Friends and neighbors offered condolences, understanding the profound connection between Gerald and his canine friend.
“I would say it was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Louise LeBlanc, Gerald’s sister and caregiver. “He wasn’t well and then he loses his best friend. He used to say the dog never disappointed him, that there was nobody like Rusty".
Tragically, the sorrow in the town deepened further when, just two days after Rusty's passing, Gerald succumbed to a similiar heart condition that had claimed his beloved dog. The community, already shaken by the loss of Rusty, was now grappling with the sudden departure of the compassionate man who had touched so many lives.
The events left the town in a state of collective sorrow, as the memories of the man, the dog, and the eagle rescue became intertwined with a bittersweet tale of compassion, loss, and the fragile nature of life. The once joyous narrative of a heroic rescue now carried the weight of a poignant reminder of the transience of existence. The townsfolk, though mourning the double loss, took solace in the memory of the selfless acts of kindness performed by Gerald and Rusty during their final days together.
