Watch: The Skunk Whisperer

Oklahoma skunks know who to call in a pinch: Ned Bruha has made a name for himself saving the potentially pungent animals from things like peanut butter jars.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ned Bruha, the Skunk Whisperer.
 
 
Teresa Vick was out delivering newspapers when she first noticed the skunk outside a community center in Bixby, Okla. It just so happens that Bixby is home of the Ned "The Skunk Whisperer" Bruha, who came and rescued the poor little stinker.
 
I love how he gave his interview with the skunk circling around in the background. Life can be funny; I'm glad it worked out for the skunk in the end.
 
UPDATE: Ned Bruha wrote (in comments below) that the interview was done while they were waiting to recieve special permission to help the skunk. Oklahoma state law prohibits him from removing the jar from its head and then allowing it to walk away. Check out Ned's site The Skunk Whisperer to read more.

    Oklahoma state law prohibited us from removing the jar from the skunk's head and allowing it to walk away. Interview was done while waiting for special permission to do so. Please visit our website http://www.totalwildlifecontrol.com for details.

    Actually, the skunk is really cute! I've known people who've had de-scented skunks as pets, and even a couple who had intact skunks since their birth that didn't bother to spray. They have dear little faces, but they are wild animals and shouldn't be pets at all, even if they're darling...
