Written by While Irving the sea lion stole the spotlight earlier this month after he was found wandering the streets of San Francisco’s Sunset District, he wasn’t the only pup on the loose. Bordaeux was found on the Google campus in Sunnyvale last month and was just released into his natural habitat. This sea lion pup was found on the Google Campus in Sunnyvale, located on Bordeaux Drive. Hence his name, Bordeaux. Officers Joseph Bowles and Community Service Officer Robert Kerr were instrumental in guiding Bordeaux to safety after getting the initial call of a sea lion on the loose.
“I must say it was interesting listening to the dispatch because he was very vocal in the background,” Officer Bowles said. “As we were going to the scene, you can hear the officer putting out radio traffic saying they’re building a barrier for the sea lion to stay inside of and all you can hear is him talking.” This little guy was eventually picked up by the Marine Mammal Center, where he was treated for malnutrition, but getting him there was a challenge. “Our hope was that Bordeaux would stay in place in our little enclosure until the Marine Mammal Center could get there to safely take him into their protection,” Officer Bowles said. “Unfortunately, he had other plans and climbed over the structure we had built around him and he escaped the area.”
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
