Agents of SNARP [Stuffed Needy Animal Rescue Project] seem to have a special fondness for stuffed animals found on the road.
Warning: Images of dead-looking stuffed animal ahead.
Spoiler: It gets better!
Biking home on a busy street from downtown yesterday, I spotted a squashed squirrel that I was pretty sure was a stuffed animal.
Having seen enough run-over squirrels, I know they are... flatter:
I did a U-turn and spotted a cloth label on the squirrel, so I picked it up and was able to put to good use my new bike's handy back-rack mouse trap:
Squirrel was so crusted in road dirt and salt, this morning I used tongs to swish it around in Biz before I even unstuffed it.
(Usually I unstuff toys first--less sodden.)
I get the feeling Squirrel has already heard from the other toys
that the run-over monkey was given a special jacket. . .
More to come!

Look, eyes!
Cutting open the back seam and pulling out stuffing,
on my back porch.
There was a squeaker inside--it might have been a dog toy:

Another bath, and Squirrel is drying in the sun
on the handle of a snow shovel:
