"She did give me a little growl, because she was so scared, but after a few strokes she seemed happier. "I was going to try to carry her down in my arms but she was too wriggly so I put her in my rucksack.""It was unbelievable, I was just so happy and I was so pleased, she gave all the team a kiss, they were amazing."Follow BBC East Midlands on
