FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. -- An owl in Colorado found itself in an unwise situation - entangled and helpless in a barbed wire fence.

Luckily for the owl, someone called the local sheriff's office in Fremont County in time and they notified state wildlife officials.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer was able to free the owl's wings from the barbs.

The rescued bird got to ride in the officer's front seat on the way to a local rehab center.
