Sometimes, it takes a village.

On Monday, East Providence Animal Control - and some bystanders - helped escort a swan back to Willett Pond in Riverside.

Bill Hurley with McShortagee’s Market captured the sweet video.

“He was a big guy,” said Hurley of the swan, who was directed away from the busy road - and back to natural habitat.

According to Hurley, animal control said it was “the third one this week.”

“They thought he might be injured,” said Hurley, of Monday’s swan. “But he walked cleanly, and swam off.”
