15. The Discovery
One day, Jeff Longo was strolling down the pavement on a sunny afternoon, when suddenly, he spotted a small little creature. The creature looked to be in a desperate state, clinging on to life. Jeff had no prior experience with taking care of animals but he knew, he couldn’t just leave the poor thing behind in the scorching Florida sun. He didn’t even know what type of animal the little thing was but he named it Biscuits and took it home.
