Hands Prying Plastic in a Tight Forest Den Bend

A small trapped puppy struggles inside a narrow forest den near Asheville, North Carolina, USA. The space tightens as the mother dog approaches with tense muscles and bared teeth. There is no escape as the trap loosens and the mother lunges, the outcome unknown. #USA #UnitedStates #wildlife #forest #animalrescue #nature #Asheville #NorthCarolina
