Check out this amazing deer rescue!

A baby deer which got itself in a bit of a pickle has been rescued after it was spotted swimming in the sea near Weymouth Harbour.

Boat passengers enjoying a mackerel fishing trip saw the animal's ears in the water.

After realising that the ears belonged to a baby deer, the group worked together to help out the fawn. They created a makeshift lasso which they used to lift it onto the boat before they returned to the shore.

It was good news all around at the end of the day! The baby deer was brought back to shore and released safely into nearby woods.
