fawn

Take about good people! In Tyler, Texas, two beautiful souls saved a baby deer drowning at Lake Tyler. 

Brian Ballard, and his wife, stumbled upon the poor fawn living lifeless in the water. 

"We are pulling into the channel which is no wake I saw something in the water I thought it was a dead fish. I pull beside it and looked over and saw it was a deer," Ballard told KETK News.

When another person, Ashton Byrd, saw what Ballard was doing, he also sprang into action!  

"If you would have seen it it was clearly dead but it had life in its eyes so I killed the boat and took off my shirt and jumped over to their boat," said Ashton Byrd. "They had been patting it, giving it breaths so it started to crying itself back to life."

Ballard and Byrd, both took turns giving the fawn CPR until suddenly, he came back to life. Local wildlife rehabilitator who is caring for the fawn, now named Baylade, says he is getting stronger and stronger every hour. 

A huge thank you to Ballard and Byrd for your kindness and never giving up on this fawn. You both are heroes. 

An Amazing video that was uploaded by Mark Freeley, shows his dog saving a baby deer from drowning. He Said that as he was walking his two dogs in the morning, Storm and Sara, he noticed a fawn in the water struggling to get to shore. The next thing he knew "Storm just plunged into the water and started swimming out to the fawn, grabbed it by the neck and started swimming back to shore."

It can be shown in the video, that once Storm hit the shore, he put the deer down and laid down next to it. The very prod owner was even surprised by the good deed his dog had done. 

Unfortunately, when experts arrived and with the commotion of the dogs and so many people, the poor deer got spooked again and ran back into the water. This time further out. After struggling for around 8 minutes, the men were able to rescue her once again. The fawn didn't have any serious injuries but did suffer from ticks and a small eye injury. The young animal is currently being cared for at an area wildlife agency until it is in better shape. 

Freeley posted the video of Storm's heroic rescue on Facebook Sunday morning and had already had more than 13k likes and just over 61k shares.
