73 Y.O. Man Gets Stuck In The Muck While Trying To Rescue Duck
<snip>

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. -- A duck stuck in muck up to his nuck, er, neck, was rescued by a 73-year-old man in hip waders who then became stuck himself and had to be extracted by emergency personnel.

Because of low water levels, the pond that ensnared the duckling had turned into a muddy quagmire. When Walt Lutz heard a mother duck frantically quacking near the pond on his property Friday, he decided the duckling needed rescuing.

"The harder it struggled, the deeper it went," said Lutz, a retired account executive for Honeywell.

He pulled on his hip boots, grabbed a shovel and waded through the muck to free the duckling. But soon Lutz also found himself stuck in the thigh-deep muck.
