CINCINNATI — An officer brought the zoo to an out-of-town family after their car was totaled in a wreck.
Officer Rachel Baldwin responded to the crash scene on May 28 and found a distressed 7-year-old girl who was on her way to the Cincinnati Zoo, the police department wrote on Facebook.
According to WCPO, the girl was particularly excited to see the zoo’s famed hippo, Fiona.
The car was totaled and the family had no way of getting back home. Baldwin drove them to a hotel and offered to drive them to rent a car.
After the investigation ended, Baldwin drove to the zoo, purchased a stuffed hippopotamus and gave it to the young girl.
Baldwin also paid for the family’s hotel room.
