A passerby and good Samaritan helped troopers safely relocate the little critter.

It was a rough day for a little otter who found itself stranded on the shoulder of a busy road and needed a rescue. 

FHP troopers say they were called to the shoulder of Gandy Boulevard near the 4th Street overpass about the semiaquatic animal's predicament.

Thankfully, a passerby and good Samaritan had spotted the otter and also had a net and pet carrier onhand to corral the otter. 

With the passerby's help, troopers were able to safely relocate the otter to a nearby pond.
