We received a report Easter Sunday morning of a pup at Duwamish Head; however, none was found when our responder arrived within minutes. Shortly after, a call came in about a pup at the north end of sandy Alki Beach. A pup was on the beach along with a family who was way too close. Thankfully, the pup was not scared back into the water. Our volunteers established a tape perimeter on the sand allowing a comfort zone for the pup and tape along the seawall above him. He was alert with decent body weight. He/she was quickly nicknamed “Bunny.” About an hour later, with an impending extreme low tide, the pup went into the water, crossed the shallows between the beach and sandbar, and vanished into the Sound. Bunny, living up to his name, however, flop-hopped from beach to beach throughout the afternoon - across from Cactus for a short nap and then at Constellation Beach til late afternoon. Thanks to the volunteers who gave up their holiday plans to watch over Bunny.
