Here’s video of their tiny picnic:
After a while, the little mouse found a cozy place nearby for shelter. Before heading back inside herself, Brighid left him a few more snacks to help him get back on his feet at home again in the outdoors.
For Brighid, treating the mouse with dignity — and treating him to a little farewell picnic — came as second nature.
“I have always just really loved animals. I didn’t really think too hard about it. Like, I should do this for him! It’s not his fault he’s a little mouse in a big world!” she said. “It was so cute! Definitely made my day.”
