It is rare for a seal story that make regional news in our news cycle. A seal that managed to take up a home at a pond in Beverly Massachusetts after the seal went into a drainage pipe and wound up in Shoe Pond where he stayed for a period of one week. When the week period passed, the seal who was named Shoebert decided to take a stroll in the city of Beberly, the seal for some strange reason ended up on the side door of a local police station. You can make a joke that Shoebert was turning himself in on charges of trespassing in a pond. Shoebert was then wrangled by animal control officers, police officers, animal control officers and wildlife officials from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to the Mystic Aquarium via wildlife carrier. Before Shoebert will be released back to the ocean, a veterinarian will exam Shoebert to make sure that the seal is healthy.

You are right since a seal feels better to be at home in the ocean.

I'm sure Shoebert will be a lot happier when released back into the ocean. Lots more room to swim.
