When Florida Police Officer Glenn Eppler came upon a group of ducklings in danger he didn’t just keep driving.

He stopped traffic and saved the ducklings. Now he's being hailed as a hero by animal lovers and kids of all ages. Eppler said, "I saw the baby ducks and thought of my daughter. She loves ducks. She’s ten and I could hear her in my ear saying, 'get out and save those ducks.'" The officer’s dash-cam caught the whole thing on tape. Catching ducklings is no easy task. Lucky for the Eppler a witness joined in and helped.
