Blind as a...Woodchuck?

Barry and Pam came across a woodchuck running around aimlessly on a local road yesterday. Although they are knowledgeable of local wildlife, it wouldn't have taken much insight to realize this wasn't normal woodchuck behavior. Upon closer examination, they discovered it was completely blind.

So they took the little guy in. One must be careful handling woodchucks: although they are cute and small, their incisor teeth and sharp claws used for burrowing can cause serious damage. We will probably be taking this unlucky rodent to the vet soon.
