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.
