A man who helped rescue a newborn baby from a dumpster in northwest Calgary Tuesday was stunned to discover he was the child's father.
The man tells The Calgary Herald, his girlfriend had told him over the last while that she hadn't been feeling well, so when he went to work that morning, he didn't think anything was out of the ordinary.
He says he had no reason to come home, but got a bad feeling in his stomach and headed home for lunch.
When he pulled in, a girl said she though she heard a baby in the dumpster. He jumped in and found the child.
The 30 year-old says the first sight of his son was covered in garbage.
It wasn't until his interview was over with police that he learned he was the baby's father.
Charges are pending against the child's 29 year-old mother.
