They Were Hanging Out In Their Yard When They Heard Something By The Fence…

Brian Pankratz was enjoying an uneventful afternoon with his daughter in their backyard when he heard something rustling by their fence.

When he went to investigate the disturbance, he was alarmed to find a helpless doe stuck quite literally between a rock and a hard place. Their fence borders a rock wall on their property but there was apparently just enough space for the poor deer to fall into.

Jumping into action, he called his neighbors and then the local volunteer fire department.

Watch the amazing rescue go down!

She looked dazed but pretty much unharmed!

It’s really quite incredible how quickly they were able to get her out of there. I imagine any more time spent in that tight space could have had terrible repercussions on her health.
