Strangers Team Up To Rescue Baby Fawn From A Storm Drain, Then Reunite It With Its Mama

A group of good Samaritans worked together to rescue a distressed baby deer from a storm drain and reunited it with its mother.

Everyone requires a little kindness and grace every now and then. People make poor decisions, wrong choices and errors. No one walking on the earth is perfect. Mistakes happen, and sometimes a little help getting out of a situation, especially an unpredictable and inexplicable one, can make all the difference.

A video posted on YouTube shows how a group of strangers came together and helped to remove a fawn from a storm drain in Maryland. 

As the video explains, the mother of the stuck deer understood that her baby needed help. So, knowing that her fawn was in a precarious position, she began circling the storm drain, where the fawn was caught. 

The deer’s awkward movements first caught the attention of a mother and son riding bikes in the area. 

After assessing the situation, a volunteer dispatcher who lived in the area called in about the stuck deer. Soon after that call, firefighters arrived on the scene to help. 

One woman, Kim Brandwin, filmed the entire situation and said a handful of firefighters assisted in the rescue effort. After removing the drain’s covering, one of the firefighters went in after the deer.

The video then shows the firefighter emerging from the drain with the fawn in his arms as it cries and cries. The fawn was unharmed and was quickly reunited with its mother, which Kim also captured on camera.

Kim said it was all smiles and high-fives after the deer was rescued.

“You could see it on the firemen’s faces when they were called to do something, you know, to be able to save this baby deer’s life,” she said. “Everyone was applauding and giving each other high-fives afterwards. You could just see it made people happy.”

A little bit of kindness and grace made all the difference for a baby deer and its mother. 

Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man regards the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”
