A young deer and its mum had a lucky escape when they were rescued from a sticky situation by a crew of firefighters.
The animals were trapped in a retention pond – a manmade basin used to manage storm water – hemmed in by walls as high as 30 feet in Cherokee County, Georgia.
The younger deer was tougher to catch and took around 30 minutes to corner, before it too was also captured by the firefighters.
Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services shared the story on Twitter, where animal lovers thanked them for their work.
“This is pure awesomeness!” said one while another added: “God bless each one of you for caring! Beautiful story!”
