Firefighters have freed a deer that got stuck in an empty swimming pool, with a little help from a hunter.
The fire service in Wetter an der Ruhr, western Germany, said it was alerted to the animal’s plight on Monday. Five firefighters sent to the scene found the deer trying to climb the steep sides of the pool.
The fire service said in a statement that “the animal didn’t even thank anyone for its rescue” before it ran off.
