Golden Retriever Rescues Drowning Baby Deer

In Long Island, New York, a man was walking his Golden Retriever, Storm, when the dog spotted a baby deer in Long Island Sound, struggling in the water.

According to Mark Freeley, Storm plunged into the water, swam out to the fawn, and dragged it back to shore. Storm then used his paw to nudge the deer to make sure she was alive. Amazingly, Freely captured the whole thing on video.

An animal rescue team took the deer to a nearby shelter, where it’s being treated.

Once the deer is back to full strength, it will be released to its natural habitat.
