Oh I loved this one.  I always enjoy saving an animal, or a kitten, or an owl, or whatever, huh?

Have a great day!

On the morning of May 18th 2011;  my wife noticed a deer in our yard
that appeared to be franticly looking for something in the rocks that form a
wall on our property line, in... Brush Prairie WA .
    When we first went out with our neighbours, we didn't see anything but
the deer wouldn't leave our yard. We went back to our house and watched
after a few minutes the deer came back. We went out to the area the deer was
concentrating on and could hear a baby fawn crying in the rocks. We moved
some of the rocks and smaller boulders and saw baby fawn's face in the
rocks. He had apparently fallen in or crawled in through one of the gaps and
was now trapped. The larger boulders were too heavy to move and we didn't
want to have the rocks cave in on the baby deer.
    We finally called our Clark County Fire District 3. The B-Shift team
came out and they were able to move the larger rocks out of the way with the
Jaws of Life enough to be able to reach in a pull the baby fawn out and
reunited it with its momma. The fawn most likely was probably stuck in there
most of the night, quickly went on to nurse off its momma.
    One of our neighbours took some video clips of the fire department's
rescue. I edited the clips into this short clip. After sharing it with some
friend they thought that it was just too cute not to share with more people
so my neighbour agreed to let me upload the final clip.
