When a police officer helped a family of ducks make it across a wide road in Wisconsin, the dash cam in his patrol car captured the good deed.

Officer Kevin Putzy even turned on his emergency lights and positioned his patrol car to protect the mother duck and her ducklings from traffic in Eau Claire, Wisc. He also got out of the car and urged drivers to stop until the ducks finished crossing.

His co-workers have razzed him a bit for his caring act -- they brought him a batch of cupcakes with ducks on them!
