The Hummingbird and The Hound | shom.dev

The Hummingbird and The Hound recounts a day where the author rescued an exhausted hummingbird while dog-sitting for Sandy, a high-prey-drive rescue. The narrative details the struggle to keep Sandy from shaking the bird while giving it sugar water and notes that the author attended a meeting with the hummingbird in hand. After two hours of recovery, the bird became feisty but unable to fly, eventually escaping into the grass by the end of the work day.
