PIEDMONT, Oklahoma (KOCO) — Piedmont police recently took an odd call involving a fawn caught up in a fence and quickly responded to save the four-legged leaper.
In a video posted on social media, an officer can be seen with a large set of bolt cutters as the deer struggles with one hoof caught up in the wire fence.
After a few attempts, the officer snapped the wire around the hoof, dropping the fawn to the ground. After being dazed for a moment, the deer’s animal instincts kicked in, as it scurried away from the officer.
Its freedom run was short lived, as it attempted to vault over a nearby water bucket but tumbled to the ground after the failed attempt.
“When you finally get free… but freedom is confusing,” department officials wrote in the social media post. “Sometimes it takes a second to get your bearings after being stuck.”
