Summary
A City of Plano animal control officer responded to ducklings trapped in a residential pool and later handled a python found in an apartment, the city’s Labor of Love episode shows.
Animal control officers with the City of Plano responded to a call about ducklings in a residential pool and handled a found python during a field visit featured in the city’s Labor of Love video series.
The episode shows that officers determined the ducklings had hatched recently and that the mother was still present; because the mother remained with the brood, officers did not relocate the birds. Animal control officer Bridal, describing the educational aspect of the job, said, “If you're asking me something, it's because you genuinely don't know. And I love wildlife. I love animals. I went to school, got a degree for it.”
The video also follows an officer identified as Raiden responding to routine shelter work and demonstrating handling of a python found inside an apartment. According to the recording, the snake was discovered under a refrigerator. During the handling sequence, Raiden advised, “Can you hold out your arms? She might coil around you.”
The episode closes with host Stacy Rogers introducing the Labor of Love segment and noting the program will have additional episodes. The program footage emphasizes public education, routine animal rescue decisions based on the presence of a mother with recently hatched birds, and shelter work that includes handling found exotic animals.
