As the injured moose tried to drag itself off Highway 17, other drivers ran over its hind legs. Hunter Berto pulled it to the side and the dying animal rested its head in his lap
When Sault Ste. Marie's Hunter Berto saw a moose critically injured by another truck Monday night on Highway 17, he pulled his rig off the road, sat down with the animal and comforted it during the final 15 minutes of its life.
Other drivers were running over the injured animal’s hind legs before Berto pulled it to the side of the highway. The young trucker, employed by Big Freight Systems Inc. of Steinbach, Manitoba, has been known to have a special way with animals and birds since his earliest years. His father, Brad Berto, tells SooToday that Cottage Life magazine once published a photograph of Hunter standing between two young moose when he was just five or six years old.
SooToday has interviewed both Hunter and Paul Berto and furthet information is being added to this article.
