FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – Officials in Farmington Hills rescued a deer from a swimming pool on Monday, Oct. 21.
According to authorities, fire crews and police hoofed it to a home on Wildwood Trail after a white-tailed deer learned the hard way that it was not an Asian water deer.
They managed to create a ramp out of a sheet of plywood that the deer was able to climb up before running off into the woods. Its freedom must have felt like a million bucks.
Something to fawn over: neither the deer nor the people involved in the rescue were injured.
More on Michigan’s wildlife, including bats, beavers, raccoons and more, can be found on the Department of Natural Resources website.
