Police officers in Houston helped reunite a family on Saturday and the heartwarming scenes were captured on video.

A big thank you to @houstonpolice Sgt. Engelhart who not only helped me after I locked my keys in the car this morning, but also helped these little chicks find their way back to mom — all while making sure that folks know all @HoustonTX parks are closed due to #COVID19. pic.twitter.com/x3TX29xzwJ

Priscilla Thompson says Officer Engelhart was helping her after she had locked her keys in her car near a park in Houston, TX.

Afterwards he helped escort 7 lost ducklings back to their mother.

Thompson filmed a quick video of Officer Engelhart in action and posted it to Twitter.

"Duckling whisperer.. so cute that they just followed him," one user commented.

"Sgt. Englehart created his own Easter Parade!" another wrote.

The Houston Police Department posted a video that shows the lost ducklings heading safely back to the water. An officer can be heard saying, "I can see the mama duck right there."

While ensuring Memorial Park was secure, Asst. Chief @SatterwhiteLJ provided a police escort for these ducklings trying to find their mom. Remember parks are closed this #EasterWeekend, but we’re keeping things under control with @HPARD until you can return #StayHome #hounews 🦆 pic.twitter.com/3TFdV05P7X
